Now, there are some special things I want you to look up for the short answer. These may be
found in the book, or not. They may be difficult to find. Feel free to email me over the weekend.
Also, remember to review the rest of the notes at the end of the digestive system PowerPoint.
Short Answer
Discuss the digestion of lipids and how they are absorbed. This material can be found in the
textbook on pages 788 and 789.
Describe the Endogastric Reflex. This one is in the book, but the internet helps.
Describe both the Gastro-Colic and Duodeno-Colic reflexes that occur after a meal. These are
trickier, and you may have difficulty, even with the internet, in finding them.
