Lesson Objectives
• By the end of the lesson, you should be able to:
• State the 3 parts of the small intestine.
• Describe the functions of the duodenum in
terms of digestion by stating the enzymatic
reaction that takes place.
• Explain the role of bile in the process of fats
digestion in the small intestine.
Structure of the
small intestine
Parts of Small Intestine
Three parts:
1) Duodenum
2) Jejunum
3) Ileum
Structure
6 metres long!!!
Structure
Lining of the walls the small
intestine contains intestinal glands
which secrete digestive enzymes
Structure
• Walls contain villi and microvilli,
and single-cell epithelium, blood
and lymph capillaries for
absorption of digested food
particles
Duodenum
Duodenum
• Structure
• Receive pancreatic juice from pancreas via
pancreatic duct.
• Receive intestinal juice from the intestinal gland
• Receive bile(produced from liver, stored in gall
bladder and released via bile duct
Small intestine (Duodenum)
• All three fluids are alkaline
bile
duct
bile
pancreatic juice
pancreatic
duct
• Neutralise the acidic chyme
• Provide a suitable alkaline medium
(~pH 8.5) for the action of the
pancreatic and intestinal enzymes
intestinal
juice
Functions
Secretion of Intestinal Juice
• Functions
• Intestinal juice contain digestive enzymes : maltase, protease
(erepsin) and lipase
Intestine juice
• Functions – enzymes

• Function
Pancreatic juice contain enzymes
pancreatic amylase, pancreatic lipase
and trypsin

Bile
• Liver cells secrete bile
• Alkaline greenish-yellow liquid
• Has no enzymes so cannot digest food
• Aid in digestion of fats
• Bile stored temporarily in gall bladder
• When gall bladder contracts, bile flows
into duodenum via bile duct
Simulate action of Bile
• Add a small amount of oil to a beaker of water
• Shake it
• Add liquid detergent to simulate bile.

big drop
of fat
• In the small intestine, bile salts
emulsify fats.
+
bile salts
Bile salts emulsify fats into tiny
fat droplets.
big drop
of fat
• In the small intestine, bile salts
emulsify fats.
• They lower the surface tension of
the fats, that is, they reduce the
attractive forces between the fat
molecules.
+
bile salts
Bile salts emulsify fats into tiny
fat droplets.
big drop
of fat
• In the small intestine, bile salts
emulsify fats.
• They lower the surface tension of
the fats, that is, they reduce the
attractive forces between the fat
molecules.
• This causes the fats to break into
tiny fat droplets suspended in water,
forming an emulsion.

tiny fat
droplets
• Note that this is just a physical
break-up, but no chemical digestion
of fat molecules has occurred.
Bile salts emulsify fats into tiny
fat droplets.
• Emulsification increases the
surface area to volume ratio of the
fats, speeding up their digestion by
lipase.
