Mechanisms of Digestion and Absorption in Vertebrates
Carbohydrates
In typical omnivore, most are polysaccharides, starch and cellulose with some monosaccharides and disaccharides
Mouth
: starch digestion by salivary amylase
Additional starch digestion by pancreatic amylase
Monosaccharides transported across intestinal epithelium into the blood
Proteins
Pepsin in the stomach
Pancreas secretes trypsin and chymotrypsin
Pancreas secretes them as inactive precursors
Activated in small intestine
Small intestine enzymes complete digestion of proteins into amino acids
Transported into intestinal cells and into bloodstream
Lipids
Most in the form of triglycerides
Digestion entirely in small intestine
Pancreatic lipase
Phospholipids and bile salts emulsify fat into small droplets with increased surface area for digestion
Bile salts form micelles allowing lipids to diffuse into intestinal cells
Triglycerides reform inside intestinal cells
Aggregate into chylomicrons released by exocytosis to pass into lacteals
Will enter into general blood circulation
Vitamins, Minerals, and Water
Do not require digestion
Absorbed in complete form
Fat-soluble vitamins follow pathway for fat absorption
Small amounts of water absorbed in stomach but most in small intestine
