Summary of how and where each macronutrient gets broken down in the GI system Location of where it occurs enzymes by which make the reaction occur Transporters and brush border enzyme digestions! Mechanical, chemical, and biophysical processes involved in how we absorb nutrients

The Acute Abdomen- patient presents with severe acute abdominal pain. Now what? Differentiating the cause based on symptoms and location location location!!
