Lab quiz 2-Large Intestines, Fat digestion, & Gi hormones
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is the size of the large intestine | 5 feet and 2.5 inches in diameter |
define haustrations | segmental contractions |
define gastrocolic reflex | mass movements triggered by filling of the stomach |
How is access to the large intestine controlled | ileocecal valve |
what casues relaxation of the ileocecal valve | distention of the terminal ileum |
How long does passage through the colon take | 16-24 hours |
When are lipids absorbed | not until the lower part of the ileum |
What types of fats are found in the diet | triglycerides (90-95%) cholesterol and lecithins |
How are triglycerides broken down | by pancreatic lipase, and alpha-esterase which hydrolyzes ester bond leaving FFA and 2-monoglyceride |
How are cholesterols digested | the ester is hydrolyzed by pancreatic cholesterolester hydrolase |
How are lecithins digested | lingual lipase |
What is the role of bile in fat digestion | bile salts with lecithins and FFA promote emulsification of fat into very small droplets--> increase surface area--> lipase bound on droplet surface to displace from oil-H2O interphase |
How are micelles loaded | by colipase |
where are conjugated bile acids absorbed | terminal ileum |
where are unconjugated bile acids absorbed | throughout the SI |
How are fat soluble vitamins absorbed | by micelles in the chylomicron pathway |
what causes white stools (steatorrhea) | missing bile enzymes |
Why did the pH decrease in tubes 2,3 | triglycerides were digested to produce FFAs...acids! |
Why was there no change in pH in tube 1 | bc there was no lipase which is needed for fat digestion |
How can the number of unsaturations be determined | using iodine as a reagent |
What is the iodine number | the amount of iodine reacting with the double bonds |
Which have higher iodine numbers animal or vegetable fats | vegetable |
what is the exception to the rule concerning iodine number and vegetable oils | coconut oil |
What are the 3 FAs most commonly present in triglycerides and are saturated | stearic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid |
What lipid is primarily used for metabolism | triglycerides |
What is a chylomicron | triclycerides + apoprotein B made inside cells in SI and passed to lacteal |
What is the primary fxn of the liver in lipid metab | to make triglycerides and lipoproteins |
What is the stimulus for mass movements in the colon | gastrocolic and duodenocolic reflexes and gastrin |
