Sodium taurocholate and sodium glycocholate are sodium salt and are the chief ingredient of the bile of mammals. Glycocholic acid is a conjugate of cholic acid with glycine. Taurocholic acid is a conjugate of cholic acid with taurine. These bile salts help to emulsify the fatty substances for absorption.

How is the digetive system adapted to digest fats?

The digestive system is adapted to digest fats through the action of bile and pancreatic enzymes. Bile, produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, emulsifies fats, breaking them into smaller droplets to increase the surface area for enzyme action. The pancreas then secretes lipases, which are enzymes that specifically break down triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. This efficient process allows fats to be absorbed effectively in the small intestine.
