To discuss:
The steps in carbohydrate digestion from mouth to small intestine; the enzymes involved at each step and their respective contribution to carbohydrate hydrolysis.
Introduction:
The process of chemical digestion and nutrient absorption is complete when the food residues move to the cecum and exit the small intestine. There are major nutrients that are digested chemically and absorbed in the small intestine; they are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The most common digestible carbohydrate is starch. The starch is first converted to glucose (oligosaccharide), which is then converted to maltose (disaccharide), then maltose is converted to glucose, which is absorbed by the small intestine.

- We have discussed the process of digestion and absorption for all 3 macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, and-fats) in great detail. Now its time to test your knowledge. For this essay question write a short but concise description (story) of the digestive and absorptive process for FATS, starting from the mouth and ending when the absorbed products are in the blood of the arteries and available for utilization by the cells of the body. Asume that the starting molecule is a triglyceride and include descriptions of all mechanical and chemical digestive steps and the locations where they occur, a clear description of how the end products are absorbed into the enterocytes, and then how they get from the enterocytes to the systemic circulation.arrow_forwardA key event in the chemical digestion processes that occur within the stomach is the release of H+ and Cl– into the lumen of the stomach. Explain how the parietal cells of the gastric glands are able to produce HCl that is a million times more acidic than blood without destroying the cells themselves.arrow_forwardHistological description of the major organs of digestion and its coats or layers.
