But just because you have a gym membership that you actually use doesnât mean you canât also have a few things at home for doing other types of workouts that you donât have time for at the gym, or for those days that you just canât make it out the front door.
The inside wall of the small intestine needs to be thin, with a really big surface area. This allows absorption to happen quickly and efficiently. If the small intestine had a thick wall and a small surface area, a lot of digested food might pass out of the body before it had a chance to be absorbed.
3- Contact time at the absorption surface: If a drug moves through the GI tract very quickly, as in severe diarrhea, it is not well absorbed. Conversely, anything that delays the transport of the drug from the stomach to the intestine delays the rate of absorption of the drug. IV.f the drug is rapidly metabolized by the liver, the amount of unchanged drug that gains access to the systemic circulation is decreased. 2. Solubility of the dru g: Very hydrophilic drugs are poorly absorbed because of their inability to cross the lipid-rich cell membranes.
