HCl converts pepsinogen to pepsin. Pepsin activates more pepsinogen. protects stomach lining from gastric juice Gastric ulcers lesions in the lining Par&ally caused by bacterium Helicobacter pylori Dynamics Coordinated contrac&on and relaxa&on of stomach muscle churn the stomach s contents Sphincters prevent chyme from entering esophagus and regulate entry into small intes&ne 2

5 Secre&ons of the Small Intes&ne Brush border Epithelial lining of duodenum produces several diges&ve enzymes Aminopep&dases, maltase, sucrase, lactase Most diges&on occurs in the duodenum Jejunum and ileum func&on mainly in absorp&on of nutrients and water Absorp&on in the Small Intes&ne Huge surface area Due to villi and microvilli greatly increases rate of nutrient absorp&on Vein carrying blood to hepatic portal vein Microvilli (brush border) at apical (lumenal) surface Lumen Blood capillaries Muscle layers Villi Epithelial cells Large circular folds Basal surface Epithelial cells Lacteal Key Nutrient absorption Intestinal wall Villi Lymph vessel 5

6 Absorp&on in the Small Intes&ne Lacteal Small lympha&c vessel in each villus Surrounded by a network of capillaries Lumen Triglycerides of small intestine Fatty acids Monoglycerides Epithelial cell glycerol and faqy acids absorbed by epithelial cells Then recombined into fats Chylomicrons Molecules of these fats mixed with cholesterol and coated with protein transported into lacteals Triglycerides Phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins Chylomicron Lacteal Absorp&on in the Small Intes&ne Amino acids and sugars Pass through the epithelium of small intes&ne enter the bloodstream Capillaries and veins from the villi (near lacteals) converge in the hepa5c portal vein deliver blood to liver and then to heart Colon Absorp&on in the Large Intes&ne Majority of large intes5ne Cecum Connected to small intes&ne Aids in fermenta&on of plant material Appendix connects where small and large intes&nes meet Extension of the human cecum plays a very minor role in immunity 6

10 You should now be able to: 1. Name the three nutri&onal needs that must be met by an animal s diet 2. Describe the four classes of essen&al nutrients 3. Dis&nguish among undernourishment, overnourishment, and malnourishment 4. Describe the four main stages of food processing 5. Dis&nguish between a complete diges&ve tract and a gastrovascular cavity You should now be able to: 6. Follow a meal through the mammalian diges&ve system: List important enzymes and describe their roles Compare where and how the major types of macromolecules are digested and absorbed 7. Relate varia&ons in den&&on with different diets 8. Explain where and in what form energy- rich molecules may be stored in the human body 10
