  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. Gastrointestinal wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_wall

    The microvilli create a brush border that increases the area for absorption. In the ileum there are occasionally Peyer's patches in the lamina propria. Brunner's glands are found in the duodenum but not in other parts of the small intestine. [1] In the colon, epithelium is simple columnar and without villi.

  4. Intestinal epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intestinal_epithelium

    The brush border on the apical surface of the epithelial cells is covered with glycocalyx, which is composed of oligosaccharides attached to membrane glycoproteins and glycolipids. [ 7 ] TEM image of a thin section cut through an epithelial cell showing the luminal surface (apical end) of the cell packed with microvilli that make up the ...

  5. Diarrhea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diarrhea

    Breast-fed infants with diarrhea often choose to breastfeed more, and should be encouraged to do so. [20] In young children who are not breast-fed and live in the developed world, a lactose-free diet may be useful to speed recovery. [105] Eating food containing soluble fibre may help, but insoluble fibre might make it worse. [106]

  6. Enterocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterocyte

    Polysaccharidases and disaccharidases in the glycocalyx break down large sugar molecules, which are then absorbed. Glucose crosses the apical membrane of the enterocyte using the sodium-glucose cotransporter. It moves through the cytosol (cytoplasm) and exits the enterocyte via the basolateral membrane (into the blood capillary) using GLUT2.

  7. Intestinal gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intestinal_gland

    Intestinal glands are found in the epithelia of the small intestine, namely the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, and in the large intestine (colon), where they are sometimes called colonic crypts. Intestinal glands of the small intestine contain a base of replicating stem cells , Paneth cells of the innate immune system , and goblet cells , which ...

  9. Chronic diarrhea of infancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_diarrhea_of_infancy

    Possible complications associated with toddler's diarrhea include malabsorption and dehydration. [6] Malabsorption affects the small intestine and results in the impaired absorption of important nutrients from an infant or child's diet, leading to malnutrition. Malabsorption is indicated by symptoms of bloating, appetite changes, weight loss ...
