    Study Notes

    Extracellular and Cellular Metabolism in Digestive System

    • Ingested food is broken down into smaller molecules in the digestive system through extracellular metabolism
    • Gastrointestinal (GI) system consists of GI tract and accessory organs, including mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, pancreas, salivary glands, liver, and gallbladder
    • Digestive activities in the lumen of GI tract are referred to as "extracellular" metabolism as it is continuous with the outside environment
    • Starch digestion starts in the mouth by amylase and continues in the upper part of the stomach, then fully digested in the small intestine
    • Monosaccharides like glucose and fructose are absorbed into the body across the epithelial cells lining the villus and then enter the blood
    • Extracellular metabolism of dietary proteins begins in the stomach, where pepsin unfolds and cleaves peptide bonds, further cut in the small intestine
    • Fats are processed and transported differently due to their insolubility in aqueous mediums, emulsified into smaller droplets in the small intestine
    • Emulsified droplets of fat are digested by lipase into fatty acids and monoglycerides, then recombined into triglycerides in intestinal epithelial cells
    • Over 8 liters of water enters the GI tract to digest less than 1 kg of food, with 99% being absorbed back into the blood
    • Water is needed to hydrolyze monomeric or dimeric units of each macromolecule during digestion
    • The digestive system consists of complex processes for the breakdown and absorption of nutrients from ingested food
    • The extracellular and cellular metabolism in the digestive system involves numerous enzymes, organs, and mechanisms for the breakdown and absorption of macronutrients.
