2. Brush border - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brush_border

   Brush border cells are found mainly in the following organs: The small intestine tract: This is where absorption takes place. [2] [3] [4] The brush borders of the intestinal lining are the site of terminal carbohydrate digestions. The microvilli that constitute the brush border have enzymes for this final part of digestion anchored into their ...

3. Brachyspira pilosicoli - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachyspira_pilosicoli

   Brachyspira pilosicoli is a gram-negative, anaerobic, host-associated spirochete that colonizes the intestinal tract of animals and humans. [2] [3] It appears as a characteristic "false brush border" due to its end-on attachment to enterocytes of the colon where it interferes with intestinal absorption. [4]

4. Prebiotic (nutrition) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prebiotic_(nutrition)

   Resistant starch from starchy foods are also well documented prebiotics and have historically been the highest source of prebiotics in the diet, as 4-10% of starch in mixed diets has been shown to reach the large intestine. [24] One study reported that individuals consuming a traditional diet in Africa consumed 38 grams of resistant starch/day ...

5. Enterocyte - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterocyte

   Smaller lipids are transported into intestinal capillaries, while larger lipids are processed by the Golgi and smooth endoplasmic reticulum into lipoprotein chylomicra and exocytozed into lacteals. Vitamin B12 uptake. Receptors bind to the vitamin B12-gastric intrinsic factor complex and are taken into the cell. Resorption of unconjugated bile ...

6. Digestive enzyme - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digestive_enzyme

   In carnivorous plants, digestive enzymes and acids break down insects and in some plants small animals. In some plants, the leaf collapses on the prey to increase contact, others have a small vessel of digestive liquid. Then digestion fluids are used to digest the prey to get at the needed nitrates and phosphorus. The absorption of the needed ...

7. Microvillus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microvillus

   Thousands of microvilli form a structure called the brush border that is found on the apical surface of some epithelial cells, such as the small intestines. (Microvilli should not be confused with intestinal villi, which are made of many cells. Each of these cells has many microvilli.)

9. Intestinal epithelium - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intestinal_epithelium

   The intestinal epithelium is the single cell layer that forms the luminal surface (lining) of both the small and large intestine (colon) of the gastrointestinal tract. Composed of simple columnar epithelium its main functions are absorption, and secretion. Useful substances are absorbed into the body, and the entry of harmful substances is ...
