How does the liver help to digest fats?

Answer 1

Bile is the liqued produced by the liver and stored and contrated in the gall bladder until needed for digestion. Bile acts like a detergent to break up large fat globules into smaller ones that pancreatic enzymes in pancreatic juice can break down small enough that fat can be absorbed through the small intestine wall. The enzyme that breaks down fat (lipids) is called lipase. When food, in the form of 'chyme', goes into the small intestine from the stomach, bile and digestive juices from the pancreus are added via the common bile duct (a tube that conveys the bile from the liver and the panreatic juice from the pancreus to the SI (small intestine)).

Answer 2

Bile comes from your liver and is used to break down fats in the intestine. They make chylomicrons to deliver fat from the intesintes to the liver, low density lipoproteins (LDL, a type of cholesterol) to deliver it to tissues, and high density lipoproteins (HDL, a type of cholesterol) to bring it back to the liver.

Answer 3

Bile is the digestive juice in your liver. It's not an enzyme but it breaks down large blobs of fat into tiny-weeny droplets of fat. BTW , bile is also an alkali and helps to neutralise the stomach + bile is stored in the gall bladder.

Answer 4

Bile is released by the liver, stored in the gallbladder, and secreted into the upper small intestine to emulsify fats. However, liver does not digest fats. Bile is released to help the digestion of fat by dividing it into globules, but it is the work of the small intestine that digests fat via lacteal.

Answer 5

There is a digestive juice made by the liver called bile that helps break down fat. However, it does not absorb fat. Fat is absorbed into the blood stream when the particles are very small.

Answer 6

Bile is the digestive juice from your liver. Bile salts break down fat.
