Upgraded B003 Ntbi1201 Absorption Mechanisms Small Intestine

Upgraded B003 Ntbi1201 Absorption Mechanisms Small Intestine — a labelled NEET Biology diagram with a definitions lexicon.

Diagram showing absorption mechanisms in the small intestine. Labelled parts: Small Intestine, Cross-section, Amino Acid, Glucose, Theca, Large Intestine. The longest part of the digestive tract where the majority of chemical digestion and nutrient absorption occurs. FYI: The internal surface area is vastly increased by finger-like projections called villi and microscopic microvilli. A diagrammatic view of an organ or tissue obtained by cutting it at a right angle to its longitudinal axis. FYI: Transverse sections (T.S.) are standard in plant anatomy to study the arrangement of vascular bundles. The monomeric building block of proteins, containing an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a variable R-side chain. FYI: There are 20 standard amino acids that make up the vast diversity of proteins in all living organisms. A six-carbon monosaccharide that serves as the primary respiratory substrate for cellular energy production. FYI: It is known as the 'blood sugar' and is the most common organic molecule on Earth. Armored cellulose plates found on the cell wall of Dinoflagellates. The terminal part of the alimentary canal involved in the absorption of water and salts and the formation of feces. FYI: It consists of the caecum, colon, and rectum, and it houses a large population of symbiotic bacteria.
