        Duodenum: Digestion of starch, splits its straight chains
        
        Maltose, maltotriose and oligosaccharides
        
        Hydrolyzing these into monosaccharides
        
        Monosaccharides are moved across the epithelial cell membrane by active secondary transport.

- - - - They group together as endopeptidases
        
        Didicated polypeptide chains are digested into free amino acids, dipeptides and tripeptides.
        
        Dipeptides and tripeptides enter epithelial cells and are secreted into capillaries by the action of a single membrane carrier.
        
        This carrier functions in active secondary transport
- - - - Lipase hydrolysis separates two of the three free fatty acids from each triglyceride molecule.
        
        Free fatty acids
        
        Monoglycerides
        
        They are rapidly integrated into micelles of bile salts, lecithin, and cholesterol in bile to form mixed micelles in the duodenum.
        
        The mixed micelles move to the brush border of the intestinal epithelium where absorption occurs.
