Darmresorption
Darmresorption, or intestinal resorption, is the physiological process by which the contents of the intestinal lumen are transported into the body. The small intestine, especially the duodenum and jejunum, is the primary site, with substantial absorption also occurring in the ileum. The large intestine reabsorbs water and electrolytes and participates in some nutrient uptake.
Absorption occurs by transcellular and paracellular routes, via active transport and passive diffusion. Nutrients include carbohydrates
Regulation depends on the mucosal surface area provided by villi and microvilli, intestinal transit time, and
Clinical significance: impaired Darmresorption leads to malabsorption syndromes, including celiac disease, Crohn disease, pancreatic insufficiency, and
