Slow process
Inhibition of thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin absorption.
The presence of fat in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract stimulates the release of bile from the gallbladder and pancreatic enzymes from the pancreas. This process aids in the emulsification and digestion of dietary fats, enhancing their absorption in the small intestine. Additionally, fat triggers the secretion of hormones such as cholecystokinin (CCK), which promotes these digestive actions.
CHO (Carbohydrate) PRO (protein) and FAT (fat)
Vitamin K is the fat-soluble vitamin produced by bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract that plays a key role in blood clotting.
Peristalsis Peristaltic contractions
Most of the GI tract is composed of simple columnar epithelium. This type of epithelium is well-suited for secretion and absorption processes due to the presence of microvilli, which increase the surface area available for these functions.
The stomach has the thickest walls and the strongest muscle in all the GI tract organs. : )
