Which organ is bile produced?
The liver produces bile. The bile is then stored in the gallbladder. Bile is then used to digest lipids in the small intestine
Which organ secrets bile?
Bile is produced in the liver, stored in the gallbladder and used in the small intestine. It helps digest fatty foods by emulsifying the lipids.
What does lipase digest?
bile from the liver helps digest lipids in the small intestines.
Which organ produces bile to break down fats so they can be absorbed and used by the body?
The liver is the organ the makes the liquid bile. It helps digest fats and lipids.
What nutrients dies bile help digest?
fats or lipids fats or lipids
Bile salts are responsible for the digestion and absorption of?
Bile is produced in the liver and helps to digest fat in the human body. Once produced, bile is stored in the gallbladder and is discharged into the duodenum when a person eats.
Why lipids are not digested inside the stomach?
becuase the body stores them for later AKA FAT! Because the enzymes needed to digest lipids are not found in the stomach.
Does an enzyme break down fat?
Lipase enzymes digest fats (otherwise known as 'lipids'). Lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.
What will happen to a person whose gallbladder does not release the bile?
This is bile duct obstruction. Bile accumulates in the gallbladder and it will eventually get full. One of the job's of the liver is to transport billirubin (a waste product) to the gallbladder for excretion, but if the gallbladder is backed up, then billirubin will leak into the circulation, and the person will get jaundice. The person might also have trouble digesting fats and lipids.
What is the function of liver in a pig?
To help the stomach digest starch and lipids (or fats).
What may account for the reduced risk of gallbladder disease in women who engage in regular physical activity?
The correct answer is ....Reduction of blood lipids
What does bile digest?
Bile does NOT digest fats. It is NOT an enzyme, therefore, it cannot break down lipid molecules into smaller nutrients. What bile does is it HELPS enzyms to digest fats by emulsifying the fat molecules. This means the surface area is increased, thus enuring a more efficient and quicker digestion of the lipid molecules. This process takes place at the top of the small intestine, in the duodenum, as this is where bile is secreted from the gallbladder, through the bile duct and onto the food.
