PY - 2019 T2 - Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology, 26e AB - OBJECTIVESAfter studying this chapter, you should be able to:Understand the basic principles of nutrition, how nutrients are delivered to the body, and the chemical processes needed to convert them to a form suitable for absorption.List the major dietary carbohydrates and define the luminal and brush border processes that produce absorbable monosaccharides as well as the transport mechanisms that provide for the uptake of these hydrophilic molecules.Understand the process of protein assimilation, and the ways in which it is comparable to, or converges from, that used for carbohydrates.Define the stepwise processes of lipid digestion and absorption and the role of bile acids in solubilizing the products of lipolysis.Understand the basis of the anatomic reserve for nutrient absorption, the adaptive processes that maintain absorption even when a portion of the bowel is lost, and the basis of the malabsorption syndrome and its impact.Identify the source and functions of short-chain fatty acids in the colon.Delineate the requirements for, and mechanisms of uptake for vitamins and minerals.Explain the processes that regulate overall food intake, as well as the mechanisms and consequences of obesity.
