Digestion and Absorption

Previous knowledge of the digestive system structure and function assumed from GCSE.
Enzymes are linked to digestion - review this prior to digestion.
Specific enzymes involved in digestion include exo and endopeptidases, membrane-bound dipeptidases, amylase, lipases, and the role of bile salts.
These all link to the surface area.
Absorption of digestion products by cells lining the ileum of mammals involves mechanisms such as co-transport mechanisms for amino acids and monosaccharides absorption, and the role of micelles in lipids absorption.
Digestion may be linked to genetics, disease, cancer and practicals like the use of visking tubing as a model.
