Hello.
00:02
So the question here is asking for the factors that will affect the iron absorption.
00:09
So first of all, let's see what is absorption? absorption we can understand as being taken in.
00:18
Right.
00:19
Now here we are talking about the iron absorption.
00:22
So iron is being taken in by our body.
00:25
So first of all, we must know that in which part of our body is absorbed.
00:31
So the part is the dietary iron.
00:35
This will occur in the deodinum, diodinum and the proximal genome.
00:47
Right.
00:48
Now, coming to the factors that will affect the iron absorption, here the first is the physical state.
00:58
What we understand from the physical state is that what we know that at the physiological ph in our body, the iron exists in its oxidized ferric state.
01:14
Oxidized ferric state.
01:20
And in this state, it is not easily possible to absorb iron.
01:25
So what it need to be converted into its ferrous state.
01:33
This is easily absorbed.
01:37
By the body.
01:38
The ferrous state is fe 2 plus ion.
01:43
And this is possible to be bound by a protein such as heem.
01:49
Now coming to the second factor here that will affect the iron absorption is enhancing factors...
