The document discusses the role of intestinal juice and brush-border enzymes in digestion, highlighting the secretion of 1-2 liters of intestinal juice daily, which aids in nutrient absorption in the small intestine. It details the enzymatic breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, as well as the absorption processes for nutrients, electrolytes, and vitamins. Additionally, it covers the final stages of digestion in the large intestine, where bacteria ferment remaining substances and produce gases, contributing to fecal composition.

Fract@ Accessoy dgestive an Paysage yest a abr Role of Intestinal Juice and Ft Q- io) Brush-Border Enzymes About 1-2 liters (1-2 qb) of intestinal juice, a clear yellow fluid, is secreted each day. Inte: al juice cont: J Witer and mucus and is slightly alkaline (pH_7.6). The alkaline pH of intestinal juice is due to its high concentration of bicarbonate ions (HCO, ). ‘Together, pancreatic and intestinal juices proyide a liquid medium that aids the absorption Of substances from chyme in the small intestine. The absorptive cells of the smail_intestine Synthes' several digestive enzymes, called brush-border enzymes, and insert them in hepa ma membrane of the microvilli. Thus, some enzymatic digestion occurs at the surfacé of the absorptive cells that line the villi, rather thanin the lumen exclusively. ay occurs in other parts of theGI tract. Among the brush-boider enzymes are four carbohydrate-digesting enzymes called @-dextrinase. maltase, Sucrasé, and lactase; protein“digesting enzymes called peptidases (aminopeptidase and dipeptidase); and two types of nucleotide-digesting enzymes, nuclegsidases and phosphatases. Also, as absorptive cells slough off into the lumen of the Small intestine, they break apart and release enzymes that help digest nutrients in the chyme.
