Intestinal Juice : This fluid secreted by the small intestine in response to secretin and CCK, contains additional enzymes for use in the small intestine.
Peristalsis : This physical digestion action of the intestinal walls thoroughly mixes food and juices together.
Emulsification : This physical digestion action occurs in the small intestine and increases the surface area of lipids.
Disaccharide : Maltose, sucrose and lactose are examples of this.
Peptidases : These enzymes from intestinal juice help digest peptides into amino acid monomers.
Maltase : This enzyme from intestinal juice helps digest maltose into two glucose monosaccharides.
Sucrase : This enzyme from intestinal juice helps digest sucrose into one glucose monomer and one fructose monomer.
Lactase : This enzyme from intestinal juice helps digest lactose into one glucose monomer and one galactose monomer.
Duodenum : This first segment of the small intestine is from the pyloric sphincter to the beginning of the jejunum and is about 25 cm long.
Jejunum : This is the second, middle segment of the small intestine, and is about 2.5 m long.
Ileum : This final segment of the small intestine is from the end of the jejunum to the ileocecal sphincter and is about 3.6 m long.
Absorption : This is a large job of the small intestine and involves the final products of digestion.
Villi : These are long, finger-like folds that project into the small intestine and greatly increase its surface area for nutrient absorption.
Microvilli : The villi have these minute cytoplasmic extensions.
Lacteal : This absorptive end of the lymphatic system found in each villus absorbs chylomicrons and fat-soluble vitamins.
Capillary Bed : This is found in each villus and absorbs amino acids, monosaccharides, minerals, short-chain fatty acids and glycerol, water soluble vitamins, and nucleotide components.
Ileocecal : This sphincter is found between the ileum and the colon.
Cellulose : This indigestible material passes from the small intestine into the large intestine.
Water : The re-absorptio of this occurs in the colon.
E.coli : The decay action of this bacteria on undigested food changes it into the final fecal form, while also producing the vitamins B and K.
Rectum : This temporarily stores feces until defecation.
Anal Sphincter : At the end of the rectum, this controls defecation through the anus.
