[Intestinal absorption of colostrum components--a review]
Abstract:
Reference is made to the importance of maternal antibody to immunological protection of the newborn. For the majority of newborn domestic animals evidence has been produced to the effect that the intestine can absorb intact antibody from foremilk. Discussed in this context are the time limitation of that capability and its possible causes, such as enzymatic degradation of immunoglobulins in the intestinal lumen or epithelial cells, disappearance of the capability of epithelial cells for intracellular intake of macromolecules or for transport of incorporated molecules into the circulation, and the replacement of epithelium by non-absorptive border cells. Possibilities to control antibody absorption are suggested.

The intestinal lining features transverse folds called circular folds, each housing fingerlike projections known as intestinal villi. These villi are covered by a layer of simple columnar epithelium, also referred to as...
Physiology of the Gastrointestinal System II: Digestion and Absorption
Digestion begins in the mouth, where food undergoes mechanical breakdown by chewing and combines with saliva. Salivary amylase, an enzyme in saliva, starts the breakdown of starches into maltose. The food then travels down the esophagus to the stomach.
In the stomach, a...

A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the colonic...
