Bile.
A fluid secreted into the small intestine during digestion?
A fluid secreted into the small intestine during digestion is a bile. A bile contains cholesterol, emulsification agents, and phospholipids.
Where is the bile stored and secreted from?
The bile is secreted in the liver and then stored in the gall bladder. When the pancreatic juice is secreted by the pancreas, it gets mixed with the bile juice and some intestinal juice which helps in the digestion in the intestine.
What substance is secreted from the gallbladder to emulsify fats in the small intestine?
Bile
What organ absorbs bile and pancreatic juice in digestion?
Bile and pancreatic juice are secreted into the small intestine through ducts. These chemicals assist in digestive processes in the small intestine.
What are biles in the stomach?
bile never goes into the stomach unless you are throwing up it is secreted into the small intestine.
Is the small intestine chemical digestion or mechanical?
Both. Mechanical: Segmentation is a process of pushing the chyme (partially digested food) back and forth in between sections (segments) of the small intestine further breaking down the food mechanically. Chemical: The small intestine receives pancreatic juices and bicarbonate from the pancreas, and bile which was produced in the liver, but gets stored in the gallbladder, and secreted from the gallbladder into the small intestine.
Where does emulsification of lipids happen?
Bile is one example of an emulsifier in your body that is being secreted from the liver. It is temporarily stored and concentrated in the gallbladder before being released into the small intestine (duodenum).
Is the bile duct involved directly or indirectly in mechanical or chemical digestion?
Indirectly in chemical digestion by the release of stored bile into the small intestine. The bile then emulsfies fats.
Which organ in the digestive system is not involved in chemical or mechanical digestion?
small intestine
What is the complex mixture of salts and pigments produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder until needed?
The mixture you are referring to is called bile. Bile is secreted into the small intestine to digest fats.
Is the small intestines chemical or mechanical?
The small intestine completes the process of chemical digestion.
