What is absorption in shapes v functions of the skin?
Sensation Heat Regulation Absorbtion Protection Excretion Secretion Vitamin D
How stomach helps in erythropoiesis?
parietal cells which can be found in gastric gland of stomach secretes intrinsic factor, which is a type of glycoprotein. this intrinsic factor, together with vitamin B12 is required for effective absorption of iron in small intestine. iron is required in erythropoiesis to produce haemoglobin. if iron absorption is low, RBC production will be affected. in summary, stomach helps in RBC production by producing intrinsic cells required in iron absorption.
The absorption of which vitamin would be impaired by the removal of the stomach?
Vitamin B12 is released from proteins by concentrated levels of HCL acid in the stomach. Therefore, without the stomach there would be no HCL acid to release the B12
Which vitamin need instritic factor for stomach for absortion?
B12 is the vitamin that requires intrinsic factor for absorption. B12 is also known as cobalamin.
What is the order of movement through the digestive system?
- Mouth, chewing, and saliva; - Throat/esophagus; - Stomach & Stomach Acid; - Duodenum; - The Bile Duct and the Pancreatic Duct Join in the Duodenum; - Pancreas, Pancreatic Fluid and neutralizing of stomach acid; - Small Intestine performs the primary nutrient absorption; - Large Intestine primarily absorbs water, although, some of the bacteria in the intestine will produce vitamins including vitamin K and short chain fatty acids that are absorbed. - Rectum
Why do you need intrinsic factor?
Intrinsic factor or gastric intrinsic factor is a protein produced by the stomach. It is used to absorb vitamin B12 in the small intestine. When there is a deficiency of the Intrinsic factor, there is a deficiency in the absorption of B12 into the body and this leads to pernicious anemia.
What vitamin absorption increases in older adults?
vitamin A
How would removal of 95 percent of the stomach to treat severe ulcers or cancer affect the digestion and absorption of food?
The stomach stores food and released small amounts regularly into the intestines for digestion. If the stomach was removed the patient must eat small amounts of food regularly. If they ate a normal sized meal it passes into the intestine and due to osmosis, a great deal of water moves into the intestines - 'dumping syndrome' which can cause nausea, diarrhoea, bloating, cramps, fatigue and dizziness. It would also affect blood sugar and could cause hypoglycaemia. So removal of the stomach makes digestion and absorption much more difficult.The stomach lining cells also produce Intrinsic factor which is needed for the absorption of vitamin K. Therefore the patient may become deficient in vitamin K.The job of the stomach is to break down proteins, mix and begin digestion. It is not involved in the absorption of food. If a person has a small stomach, they will loose weight but the stomach can stretch and enlarge.
