Overview
- Nearly all chemical
digestion and nutrient
absorption occur in the
small intestines.

Gross anatomy
• Three regions:• Duodenum - first 25 cm• Jejunum – next 2.5 m• Ileum – last 3.6 m ; ends at ileocecal
junction – joins cecum of large intestine

Three Parts of Small Intestine
![Page 5: Small Intestine 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/5408af4adab5ca07028b46e6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Small Intestine plays key role in digestion and absorption of nutrient,
90% of nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine
• The Duodenum• The segment of small intestine closest to
stomach• 25 cm (10 in.) long• “Mixing bowl” that receives:
– chyme from stomach– digestive secretions from pancreas and liver
![Page 6: Small Intestine 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/5408af4adab5ca07028b46e6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Jejunum
• Is the middle segment of small intestine• 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) long• Is the location of most:
– chemical digestion– nutrient absorption
The Ileum• The final segment of small intestine• 3.5 meters (11.48 ft) long
![Page 7: Small Intestine 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/5408af4adab5ca07028b46e6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Small Intestine
• Nearly all chemical digestion & nutrient absorption occurs here
• Longest part of digestive tract• Circular folds of mucosa , villi, and
microvilli – enhance surface area for absorption of nutrients
![Page 9: Small Intestine 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/5408af4adab5ca07028b46e6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

- The surface area inside the small intestine is greatly increased by circular folds, villi, and microvilli.

Epithelial cells cover the mucosa
![Page 15: Small Intestine 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/5408af4adab5ca07028b46e6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Small Intestine
• Each villus is a fold in the mucosa.
• Covered with columnar epithelial cells interspersed with goblet cells.
• Epithelial cells at the tips of villi are exfoliated and replaced by mitosis in crypt of Lieberkuhn.
• Lamina propria contain lymphocytes, capillaries, and central lacteal.

Intestinal Villi • A series of fingerlike projections:
– in mucosa of small intestine
• Covered by simple columnar epithelium:covered with microvilli
Intestinal glands have goblet cells between columnar epithelial cells
• Eject mucins onto intestinal surfaces
Brush Border Enzymes are integral membrane proteins ,on surfaces of intestinal microvilli

Small Intestine
• Absorbs– 80% ingested water– Electrolytes– Vitamins– Minerals– Carbonates
• Active/facilitated transport• Monosaccharides
– Proteins• Di-/tripeptides• Amino acids
– Lipids• Monoglycerides• Fatty acids• Micelles• Chylomicrons
![Page 19: Small Intestine 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/5408af4adab5ca07028b46e6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Intestinal Secretions
• Watery intestinal juice• 1.8 liters per day enter intestinal lumen• Moistens chyme• Assists in buffering acids• Keeps digestive enzymes and products of
digestion in solution
Intestinal Movements• Chyme arrives in duodenum• Weak peristaltic contractions move it slowly
toward jejunum
![Page 20: Small Intestine 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/5408af4adab5ca07028b46e6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

• Microvilli contain brush border enzymes that are not secreted into the lumen.– Brush border enzymes remain attached to the cell
membrane with their active sites exposed to the chyme.
• Absorption requires both brush border enzymes and pancreatic enzymes.

Digestion and Absorption of Carbohydrate
- Most digestible dietary carbohydrate is starch.
- The starch digestion begins in the mouth by salivary amylase.
- But fully digestion of starch occurs in the small intestines.

Digestion and Absorption of Carbohydrates
• Salivary amylase:– Begins starch digestion.
• Pancreatic amylase:– Digests starch to
oligosaccharides.– Oligosaccharides
hydrolyzed by brush border enzymes.
• Glucose is transported by secondary active transport with Na+ into the capillaries.

• Digestion begins in the stomach when pepsin digests proteins to form polypeptides.
• In the duodenum and jejunum:– Endopeptidases cleave peptide bonds in the interior of
the polypeptide:• Trypsin.• Chymotrypsin.• Elastase.
– Exopeptidases cleave peptide bonds from the ends of the polypeptide:• Carboxypeptidase.• Aminopeptidase.

- Proteins are digested by proteases and peptidases.
- Protein digestion starts in the stomach.
![Page 41: Small Intestine 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/5408af4adab5ca07028b46e6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Protein digestion continues in the small intestine by pancreatic enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin.
![Page 42: Small Intestine 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/5408af4adab5ca07028b46e6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Protein digestion is completed in the small intestine by brush border enzymes carboxypeptidase, aminopeptidase, and dipeptidase.
Amino acid absorption is similar to that of monosaccharides, via several sodium-dependent amino acid cotransporters.
![Page 43: Small Intestine 1](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061103/5408af4adab5ca07028b46e6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Digestion and Absorption of Protein (continued)
• Free amino acids absorbed by cotransport with Na+.
• Dipeptides and tripeptides transported by secondary active transport using a H+ gradient to transport them into the cytoplasm.
• Hydrolyzed into free amino acids and then secreted into the blood.

Digestion and Absorption of Lipids
- Lipids are digested by enzymes called lipases.
- Most fat digestion occurs in the small intestine via several steps.

• Arrival of lipids in the duodenum serves as a stimulus for secretion of bile.
• Emulsification:– Bile salt micelles are secreted into duodenum to break
up fat droplets.• Pancreatic lipase and colipase hydrolyze
triglycerides to free fatty acids and monglycerides.– Colipase coats the emulsification droplets and anchors
the lipase enzyme to them.– Form micelles and move to brush border.

• Free fatty acids, monoglycerides, and lysolecithin leave micelles and enter into epithelial cells.– Resynthesize triglycerides and phospholipids
within cell.• Combine with a protein to form chylomicrons.
• Secreted into central lacteals.
