What is the Role of Small Intestine in the Digestion of Food Components
Role of Small Intestine in the Digestion
In small intestine Liver and Pancreas play an important role for digestion of food.
Role of Liver:
- i) Liver is reddish brown organ present just below the diaphragm (under ribs) on right side of body.
- ii) Bile contain salts which convert large fat molecules into small droplets. This process is called emulsification.
iii) Bile juice also contains bile pigments, which excreted out with faeces. The colour of faeces is due to these pigments.
Role of Pancreas:
- i) It is leaf life organ present below the stomach.
- ii) Pancreas produces a juice called pancreatic juice which contain three enzymes.
- Amylase acts on undigested starches of the food and converts them into maltose.
- Trypsin breaks down proteins into peptides.
- Lipase splits fat into fatty acids and glycerol.
iii) If any food still remain undigested enzymes secreted by glands of small intestine help to digest it.
Note: Graduates have the opportunity to obtain an additional specialty, for example a driver with a category. But this is not in all colleges. Nevertheless, two specialties are better than one. In college, students are more independent. Behind them teachers do not run. Students are given more study time for independent mastering of the material. Each coin has two sides, and with education. In connection with the introduction in 2001 of the system of examinations for admission to universities (EGE), it became much more difficult for a college graduate to enter an institute. If the college is not affiliated with a higher educational institution, then all problems of admission are borne by the applicant. And if the student well remembers the USE program, the graduate of the college passed the same program long enough, in addition, in a condensed form (the programs of 10 and 11 classes are held in colleges for one year).
