Question
Chapter 24.4, Problem 15BYGO
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The three structures that increase the absorptive surface area of the small intestine.
Introduction:
Food after going through the stomach moves to the small intestine for absorption. Absorption of food occurs efficiently when there is the presence of a high surface area. Small intestine possesses some structures that help in increasing its surface area so as to assist it in the process of nutrient absorption.

Akosua Fafali an SHS one student, after a heavy ball of Banku and okra stew was wondering why the food she took came out different from the anal cavity and possibly why she became stronger with much energy after the meal. In order to come out from this state of confusion, she came to you as her senior sibling for further explanation. As a biomedical scientist, help Akosua Fafali by describing the anatomical structures responsible for the different type of digestion of the Banku and okra stew from the mouth to the colon.

- As you may know, Homer Simpson loves his donuts. So lets help Homer understand how his donut is processed from beginning to end. To do this you will need to 1. summarize the digestive system by identifying the gastrointestinal tract organs and their functions as the donut moves along the track. To do this you will need to identify 2. the function of the mouth and what compounds are broken down in the mouth and how (describe the chemical digestion); 3. The function of the stomach, describe chyme, the role of the stomach in mechanical digestion, chemical digestion (how, describe the chemical digestion and enzymes), and absorption. Why is it necessary for the stomach contents to be so acidic? How does the stomach protect itself from digestion? State the cells that secrete hydrochloric acid, pepsin, and intrinsic factor and the functions of each secretion; 4. Explain how small intestine absorption is assisted by circular folds (plicae circulares), villi, and microvilli; and describe…arrow_forwardI want to solve all the parts from 1 to 10arrow_forwardPlease shorten your answer in several sentences.4 What is the pathway for food, from mouth to anus?
