Bile is released into the duodenum, at the top of the small intestine. It acts on lipids that enter the intestines from the stomach. The lipids are emulsified to increase the surface area for enzymes to break down the lipid molecules.

∙ 13y agoBile is a fluid secreted by the liver into the stomach. It contains certain waste products (most notably bilrubin), that will later be eliminated with the stool. If bilrubin is not removed, it will cause jaundice, which can be fatal.
Bile's main use, however, is to aid in fat digestion. Fats, after they are consumed, will coagulate into a large, floating blob in the stomach. This means that lipase, the digestive enzyme for fats, can only work on the outside of this blob. Bile, however, is an emulsifier, which is something that breaks up oils and fats into tiny particles so that they can be dispersed throughout water. Then the lipase can break down the fat.

Bile salts aid in the absorption of what?
fats
Where does the bile duct lead to and what substance does it carry?
The bile duct carries bile from the gallbladder and the liver to the duodenum. Bile helps to break down fats in the food we eat.
Why does bile allow lipase to digest fats more effectively?
Bile works by emulsifying fats - which means it distributes them throughout the watery content of the intestines. This results in large fat globules being separated into millions of small fatty droplets. This means that the enzymes which break down fats have a larger surface area to work on
What hormone causes the gallbladder to contract and release bile into the small intestine?
Cholecystokinin is the hormone that causes the gall bladder to release stored bile. It is made in the small intestine and secreted when fatty food goes from the stomach into the small intestine.
What relationship exists between bile and the gallbladder?
Bile is stored, not created, in the gall bladder before it is secreted into the duodenum to emulsify fats.No
Bile salts aid in the absorption of what?
fats
What bile digest?
Fats
What makes bile to help break up fats?
you liver makes up bile which helps break down fats.
Does bile help break down proteins and amino acids?
Bile breaks down fats into smaller particles that can be more easily digested.
What are bile acid sequesterants?
Bile acid sequesterants are drugs that act by binding with the bile produced by the liver. Bile helps the digestion and absorption of fats in the intestine. By blocking the digestion of fats, bile acid sequesterants prevent the formation of cholesterol.
Why must gallbladder release bile?
Bile contains bile slats that help in the process of emulsification of fats without which fats cannot be digested. emulsification of fats also increases the surface area of the fat malecules for lipase to act on.
Is bile are not digested?
BILE is digested. BILE gives the color to your feces. It helps to break down fats.
How does bile help in the digestion of plants?
It doesn't, bile is useful in the digestion of fats.
What thing help in emulsification of fats?
In the small intestine of digestive system the lipids are emulsified by the action of bile from liver.
Chemical that breaks down fats into small droplets and helps neutralize stomach acids?
Bile juice does the digestion or emulsification of fats.
What does the gallbladder for digestion?
The Gall bladder stores bile. Bile is made by the liver. Bile is essential for the proper digestion of fats. If fats are not properly digested, fat soluble vitamins are also not absorbed.
What Emulsification agent helps to digest fat?
bile is the emulsification agent that helps to digest fats.
