How is the rate of movement increased in the ileum
Microvilli icrease the surface area
1 of 19
What is a sodium - potassion pump
eitheir amino acid/ glucose are drawn innto dell along with Na+, that has been actively transported out by the Na-K pump
2 of 19
How is the rate of movement increased
increasing the concentration gradient | increasing the surface area | increasing the DENSITY of protein channels
3 of 19
Why is co transport used to described the transport of co- transport
glucose & Na+ ions move into the cell coupled together
4 of 19
What is passive movement in co-transport
Sodium ions and glucose move INTO of the epithelial cell
5 of 19
What is active movement in co-transport
Sodium ions are moved out of the epithelial cell
6 of 19
Whats the 1st step in co-transport
Na+ are ACTIVELY TRANSPORTED out of epithelial cell into the blood using CARRIER PROTEIN | maintains a high conc of Na+ in the lumen of intrstine
7 of 19
Whats the 2nd step in co-transport
Na+ is FACILIATED DIFFUSED into the epithilial cell down the conc grad by a different carrier protein
8 of 19
Whats the 3rd step in co-transport
Simultaneously, AA. glucose is carried into the cell with the Na+
9 of 19
Whats the 4th step in co-transport
Glucose/ AA is FACILIATED DUFFUSED into the blood plasma using a different carrier protein
10 of 19
What causes diarrhoea
Damage to the epithelial cell lining in intestine | loss of microvilli due to toxins | excessive secreteion of water due to toxins
11 of 19
Why is drinking water inaffective for diarrhoea
water is not absorbed int he intestines --> water is lost from the cells | it doesnt replace the electrolytes that are being lost
12 of 19
What does a rehydration solution do
finds an alternative pathway for Na+ ions to be absorbes --> using different carrier proteins
13 of 19
What is needed in a rehydration solution
water, soduim ions, glucose, potassium and other elctrolytes
14 of 19
Why is WATER needed in the rehydration solution
to rehydrate the tissues
15 of 19
Why is Na+ needed in the rehydration solution
replace the Na+ that were lost from the epithelium | optimise use of the alternative sodium-glucose carrier protein
16 of 19
Why is GLUCOSE needed in the rehydration solution
to stimulate the uptake of Na+ from the intestine | provide energy
17 of 19
Why is K+ needed in the rehydration solution
replace the K+ | stimulate appetite
18 of 19
Why is OTHER ELECTROLYES needed in the rehydration solution
Cl- and CITRATE IONS | help preven electrolyte imbalance and metabolic acidosis
