Intestinal Bacteria




The environment of the stomach is relatively sterile
because of secreted stomach acid
Bile acid secretion, motility, and antibody production
keeps bacterial numbers in the duodenum to a
minimum
There is a low concentration of aerobes in the
jejunum
Anaerobic bacteria are distal to the ileocecal valve

Anaerobes are 95% of the fecal flora in the colon

Secretion of Bile



Bile is an alkaline, bitter-tasting, yellowish
green fluid that contains bile salts, cholesterol,
bilirubin, electrolytes, and water
Bile is formed by hepatocytes and secreted
into the bile canaliculi
Enterohepatic circulation

Recycling of bile salts

Metabolism of Bilirubin





Bilirubin is a by-product of the destruction of
aged red blood cells
Bilirubin gives bile a greenish black color and
produces the yellow tinge of jaundice
