Question
What is the carb specific pathway? Expalin in detail
#1: This one is asking you to take carbs from
the mouth, to the small intestine, through
the liver, and end the pathway at the right
atrium. So as you take the carbs through
the digestive track, make sure you include
all of the enzymes that are responsible for
specifically digesting carbs! Because this is a
CARB-SPECIFIC pathway, no need to include
enzymes that deal with only proteins and fats
- just carbs please for this one! You want to
take those carbs to the small intestine and
then once you get to the jejunum, describe the
process in which carbs get absorbed into the
villus! Once they enter the blood capillary at
the villus, you then take the blood to the liver
(i.e. the hepatic portal system!) for the blood
to be filtered. After you leave the liver you
follow the correct vessels to dump that blood
into the right atrium!
