We have discussed the process of digestion and absorption for all 3 macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) in great detail. Now its time to test your knowledge. For this discussion assignment pick ONE of the 3 macronutrients and write a short but concise description (story) of the digestive and absorptive process starting from the mouth and ending when the absorbed products are in the blood of the arteries (not the portal vein) and available for utilization by the cells of the body. Include descriptions of all mechanical and chemical digestive steps, a clear description of how the end products are absorbed into the enterocytes and then how they get from the enterocytes to the systemic circulation.
