Lipid digestion and absorption is particularly challenging.
Describe lipid digestion, absorption, and the mechanisms by which
lipids are transported in the blood. Why are lipids so challenging
to manage in digestion?
Describe the role lipid digestion, absorption, and transport
through the blood relating these topics to the concepts of polarity
and solubility in polar solutions such as water and blood.
a)
Describe changes and locations of protein digestion
b) Describe changes and locations of fat/lipid digestion
c) Describe changes and locations of starch/carbohydrate
digestion
d) Describe what happens to fiber
*Include where changes take place ; the specifics of
digestion; where (and how) absorption takes place, and how these
nutrients enter the blood stream. Include physical/mechanical
digestion/contact digestion; and include names of all
enzymes/agents and where these enzymes are produced.
Draw a diagram that illustrates lipid digestion
and absorption, make sure you include where these steps are
occurring and the important role of bile! Make sure it is clearly
labeled and include a brief description for any sequences and
processes.
Starting with the actions in the mouth describe the digestion,
absorption, and elimination of a meal containing carbohydrates,
lipids, and proteins (include mechanical and chemical digestion in
each of the structures of the GI tract, the enzymes, movement of
the material through the digestive tract, the roles of the
accessory structures in digestion, and changes in pH).

effects of these 7 lipid-lowering drugs:
