6.1: Digestion & absorption
Why digest?
Define these terms
Ingestion
Digestion
Absorption
Transport
Eat the food
Chemical reactions
breaking down the food
Small molecules passing
into blood/lymphatic
vessels
Circulatory system
delivering absorbed
molecules
What are molecules made of?
Poly, di or monosaccharides 
monosaccharides
Triglycerides  glycerol & fatty acids
Protein  amino acids
DNA, RNA  nucleotides
What is this?
Amino acid!
Mono, Di or Poly?
Maltose
Disaccharide
What is this?

Digestive System
aka alimentary canal
Page 280 (154 in the old book) –
draw and annotate a diagram of
the human digestive system.
You will be expected to draw this
from memory!
- Secretes enzymes into the S.I
- Contains two gland tissues types
- Hormone secretions
- Enzyme secretions
- Digestive enzymes synthesized in pancreatic gland cells on
ribosomes (rER) then processed by the Golgi apparatus and
excreted by exocytosis.
- Pancreatic juice contains:
- Amylase
- Lipases
- Proteases
- Duodenum is the first part. Food stuff mixed
with bile (from liver/gall bladder) and trypsin
(protease), lipase, amylase and bicarbonate
(from pancreas)
- Most molecules absorbed through capillary
bed expect fatty acids (absorbed into lacteal)
Tissue layers in transverse section of the small intestines, as seen with an
electron microscope. (also on pg. 281 fig. 2)
It would be a good idea to be able to draw and label this diagram.

Amino acids
In summary….
Small intestine is able to absorb a wide
range of substances including:
Glucose, fructose, galactose, the twenty
amino acids, fatty acids, monoglycerides,
glycerol, nucleotides, mineral ions (Ca, K, Na)
and vitamins (vitamin C aka ascorbic acid)
