How does the liver helps the body?
Liver secretes bile juice which is stored in gall bladder. Bile is alkaline and contains salts which help to emulsify fats present in the food.
How do bile salts help with digestion?
bile salts emulsify fats and solubilize them ,thus the are absorbed.Bile salt is completely necessary for digestion in the body. They help to break down the fat in our body that otherwise could not be digested. The bile salts help to break down the fat molecules into smaller parts, and they are then easily digestible by the small and large intestine.After the bile salts are done doing their job, they are returned back to the liver and recycled, and are used again when they are needed. Bile salts are basically sodium based salts that are all derived from the liver.
What organ produce bile to break down fats so they can be absorbed and used by the body?
Liver produces bile. Bile contains bile salts and bile pigments. You have sodium taurocholate and sodium glychocolate as bile salts. These salts reduce the surface tension of the fat globules. Very small particles of the fat are formed. This greatly increase the surface area of the fat. this gives an opportunity to the enzyme to act on the fat granules. Fat is split into fatty acid and glycerol. These products are absorbed through the wall of the intestine.
What helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins?
Bile salts in the intestine
What is the role of taurine in lipid digestion?
It plays a role in the oxidation of cholesterol into bile salts in the liver. This allows the cholesterol in to be excreted out of the body by changing it into a water soluble form (bile salts).
Which fluid in the human body lacks digestive enzymes an where?
Bile is 85% water, 10% bile salts , 3% mucus and pigments, 1% fats, and 0.7% inorganic salts , thats mean bile is secretion which lack enzyme.
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.
Cholesterol which is made in the body are called?

There is a part in your body that starts with the letter b near you pancreas.?
'Bile Duct' or technically the Common Bile Duct is formed by the union of Common Hepatic duct and Cystic Duct. It passes through the head of pancreas and ends in the duodenum. It transports bile salts, bile pigments among others.
Which physiological chemicals can be used to treat the gram positive infections?
Due to large scale misuse of antibiotics by the unqualified doctors, you have landed in the problem of emergence of multi drug resistant bacteria. Now you have to invent the new antibiotics.The bile salts prevent the growth of gram positive bacteria. That is the reason why gram negative bacteria grow in the the intestinal tract. So this chemical can be used by intravenous route to treat the systemic infections by gram positive bacteria. There will be toxic accumulation of this chemical in the body. It is reabsorbed by enterohepatic circulation. So you have to invent the chemical or pair of chemicals, which will do precipitation of the bile salts in the intestine. The efficacy of this remedy has to be tried in clinical practice in case of the multi drug resistant gram positive infections.
