Absorption of nutrients in the small intestines 6.4 pg 102 What is Absorption? http://www.yenching.edu.hk/biology/absorption.swf
Adaptation of the small intestines for absorption 1. Surface Area 2. Thin membrane 3. Concentration gradient ,[object Object]
Lined with vili
Microvilli on villi
1 cell thick epitheliumMany capillaries to carry substance away quickly Each villus is a lacteal or lymphatic capillary surrounded by blood capillaries.  This continuous transport of digested food substances away from the villus maintains the concentration gradient for absorption.

  • 2. Absorption of nutrients in the small intestines 6.4 pg 102 What is Absorption? http://www.yenching.edu.hk/biology/absorption.swf
  • 3.
  • 6. 1 cell thick epitheliumMany capillaries to carry substance away quickly Each villus is a lacteal or lymphatic capillary surrounded by blood capillaries. This continuous transport of digested food substances away from the villus maintains the concentration gradient for absorption.
  • 7. Increased intestinal surface area 1 cell thick epithelium
  • 8. Q. How is Concentration gradient maintained at the site of the intestinal villus? A concentration gradient is maintained at the villus by the continual transport of digested food substances away from the villus.
  • 9. How does absorption take place? Legend Glucose amino acids fatty acid & glycerol fat molecule
  • 10. Glucose & amino acids diffuses into blood capillaries of villi Glucose & amino acids also enters via active transport Glycerol & fatty acid diffuse into the epithelium, then combines back when they enter lacteal Water & mineral salts also absorbed. How does absorption take place?
