How is the small intestine designed to absorb digested food?
(Ans) To digest the carbohydrates, fats and proteins, the small intestine receives the secretions of the liver and pancrease. The acidic food coming from the stomach is made alkaline for the action of pancreatic enzymes. The liver secretions have bile juice. The bile salts break the larger fat globules into the smaller one for the effective action of enzymes (emulsification of fats).
The walls of small intestine contain glands which secrete intestinal juice. This contains enzymes to convert:
Proteins àamino acids
Complex Carbohydrates àglucose
Fats àfatly acids & glycerol
The digested food components are absorbed into the walls of the intestine.
