Carbohydrate (Glucose) Absorption

Carbohydrate (Glucose) Absorption. Note - There is a labelling error at 3min: 40sec. The apical and basolateral sides of the enterocytes should be reversed in the video.

This video saved my life, i have been spending more than 1 hour to understand it from the book but after the video i am so impressed that I understood the whole process. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Great video but you made a mistake at 4:54 the side which has the SGLt as the transporter protein is the apical (we can even see the microvilli). Because the apical side faces the the Lumen of the small intestine whilst the Basalateral faces the blood capillaries. So the labeling and the description was wrong.

This was so incredibly helpful - thank you!

Thank you for this simple and highly explanatory video.

wonderful lecture, which has solved all my puzzles about how glucose get into the blood stream via SGLUTS

[KkutD]

The apical side of the Enterocyte is the side with the brush border that is open to the Lumen The SGLT1 active transporter is embedded in the brush border not the basolateral side of the cell which should be at the base.

Wow, I gave a presentation for my exam on this topic and the professor was impressed. Thanks!

[r.q.h.alyousef]

Great video! But I'm guessing the apical and basolateral sides of the enterocytes are reversed in the video? :)

[yousefrezaei]

Apart from single mistake that is mentioned, it was a great explanation...well done...

[kmndz]

Excellent video! Just learned this in today’s Physio lecture. We will have an essay question based on this. Bless you.

Can I ask the reason for the difference in the rate of absorption of glucose and fructose in the ileum？I am so wondering about it.

[studytaleswithhp]

All my doubts are clear now thanks a lot❤

Normally, blood glucose levels increase after you eat a meal. When blood sugar rises, cells in the pancreas release insulin, causing the body to absorb glucose from the blood and lowering the blood sugar level to normal. How glucose is absorbed into the cells?

That was great Micky G! Summed it up so well 😄

[Shannon]

Should the step 2 be facilitated diffusion instead of active transport?

[amiramoustafamohamedtawfik]

Thanks a lot for this great and amazing explanation 💛💛

[Biology]

One mistake in video sir!
You r saying apical surface as basal surface and vice versa
Rest U r Awesome ❤

Really great, I was lost in the articles about it on internet, but this helps to understand well, but one question: Are the Goblet cells epithelium cell? Is ATP needed in step 2 as sodium is moving along the gradient(from high density to low density)?

[miramiramira]

Thank you so much!!! this video helps me fr.

[mwasie]

I believe that it's microvilli that increase the surface area of the epithelia. Correct me if i'm wrong.
