Mineral reabsorption c. Hormonal degradation d. Degrading toxins are large capillary spaces separating the hepatic plates. a. Hepatocytes b. Lobules c. Sinusoids d. Portal systems Bile is produced by c. Hepatocytes d. Sinusoids age 6 a. Kupffer cells b. Gall bladder cells Page 4 of 6

Explanation / Answer

Ans.1) Option b - In the brush border of the small intestine.

The final step in digestion of dietary carbohydrates and proteins occurs on the face of small intestinal enterocytes.

2.) Option a - Water and electrolyte reabsorption.

The major functions of the large intestine are:

3.) Option b - Lobules

The liver lobes are made up of microscopic units called lobules which are roughly hexagonal in shape. These lobules comprise of rows of liver cells (hepatocytes). Situated around the perimeter of the lobule are branches of the hepatic artery, hepatic portal vein and bile duct.

4.) Option c - Hepatocytes

The gallbladder acts as a storage vessel for bile produced by the liver. Bile is produced by hepatocytes cells in the liver and passes through the bile ducts to the cystic duct. From the cystic duct, bile is pushed into the gallbladder by peristalsis .
