Guest guest Posted July 19, 2001 Report Share Posted July 19, 2001 > Is the alimentry limb and the common channel the same thing????? Kay, The intestine is formed by 3 section that form a Y shape. The bottom portion of the Y is the common channel, and this carries bile and food. The other two limbs are the alimentary and the billio limb. The alimentary limb carries the food from your stomach. It absorbs protien and carbohydrates, but because there is no bile, fats are not absorbed in the section. The billio limb carries the bile from the liver, but contains no food. Some reabsorbtion of bile salts occurs in this section. No food absorption occurs in the billio limb since food does not pass through it. Finally in the common limb the bile and the food merge. At this point you start to absorb fats and continue to absorb protien as well as carbohydrates. So the common channel length effects your absorption of fats while both the alimentary limb length and the common channel length affect your absorption of protien and carbohydrates. In addition, the volume of the stomach impacts both the amount that you can eat and the velocity that food moves through your intestines. A small stomach leads to less absorption.
