The Small Intestine
-major site of digestion and absorption
-Diameter= 2.5cm, Length= 6-7m
![Page 2: The Small Intestine -major site of digestion and absorption -Diameter= 2.5cm, Length= 6-7m](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020800/551c356d5503467b488b456a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Components of the Small Intestine
• Duodenum
– first 25-30cm
• most of digestion occurs here
• enzymes from pancreas and bile from gall bladder enter to digest:
– lipids, carbohydrates, proteins

Sodium Bicarbonate in the Duodenum
• The enzymes in the duodenum require a basic pH=9.0 to function. Stomach acid has a pH=2.0. Sodium bicarbonate from the pancreas alters the pH to accommodate these enzymes.

• Jejunum
–digestion and absorption
• Ileum
–absorption
–moves undigested material into large intestine

Cross Section of Small Intestine

Structure related to Function• Circular Folds, Villi and Microvilli
– all increase SA to maximize absorption of nutrients
• Length– increases time available for nutrient absorption
• Capillary Beds– absorb nutrients and transport to body cells
• Lacteals– absorb lipids into lymphatic system

The Large Intestine (Colon)• D = 7.6 cm, L = 1.5 m
– reabsorbs water, salt, minerals
• it takes 5.6 L of water to digest our food each day, Why?
• 1. Dissolve digestive enzymes
• 2. Lubricate food material
• 3. Dissolve nutrients to allow absorption
![Page 10: The Small Intestine -major site of digestion and absorption -Diameter= 2.5cm, Length= 6-7m](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020800/551c356d5503467b488b456a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Large Intestine (Colon)
• all but 0.2 L is reabsorbed in the large intestine
• feces (undigested food material) are usually very solid, low water content

Bacteria in the large intestine
![Page 14: The Small Intestine -major site of digestion and absorption -Diameter= 2.5cm, Length= 6-7m](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020800/551c356d5503467b488b456a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Bacteria in the large intestine
• bacteria can’t survive in the harsh environments of the stomach and small intestine
– the damp colon is a good breeding ground
• some are useful, produce vitamins B12, K
• some are harmful, e. coli

Where does E.coli come from?
-present in the feces of most mammals
-most strains are harmless
![Page 18: The Small Intestine -major site of digestion and absorption -Diameter= 2.5cm, Length= 6-7m](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020800/551c356d5503467b488b456a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How does E.coli get into lakes?
-runoff waters after heavy rains
-sewage contamination

What are the symptoms of an E.coli infection?
![Page 20: The Small Intestine -major site of digestion and absorption -Diameter= 2.5cm, Length= 6-7m](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020800/551c356d5503467b488b456a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
E. Coli Infection• Causes severe diarrhea, How?
– peristalsis speeds up
– not enough time for water re-absorption to occur
• Treatment?– drink lots of fluids
– antibiotics prescribed
