Where are lipids produced?
Lipids are mainly produced in the liver and adipose tissue. The liver synthesizes lipids for energy storage and transport, while adipose tissue stores excess lipids as triglycerides. Additionally, other organs like the intestines and mammary glands can also produce specific types of lipids for various functions.
What type epithelium is the liver?
The liver is composed of simple cuboidal epithelium. It helps with the secretion and absorption of substances in the liver.
What secretion of the gallbladder that emulsifies fat?
The Gall Bladder is located right underneath the Liver and is stained green by its contents. The gall bladder hold a production of the liver called Bile within which are Bile Salts, it does not produce anyhting itself. The bile salts emulsify fat in kind of the same way soap does to dirt. It sticks a hydrophobic tail into the fat has a hydrophilic head in the water. This maked the fat globule find the shape with lowest surface area, a sphere. The reason the body must do this is to allow the transport of fat more easil and to increase the overall surface area for enzymes to act on it. Bile
Where does the digestion of fats start?
The chemical break down of fats and lipids begins in the Duodenum. Here juices from the Pancreas are added containing enzymes of carbohydrase, lipase and protease. The lipase breaks down fats and lipids. Also at this point, bile is added which is an alkali. This neutralises the hydrochloric acid that has entered the duodenum from the stomach and emulsifies the fats.
Why does the liver produce cholesterol?
The liver produces cholesterol to help build cell membranes, produce hormones, and aid in digestion.
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.
Does the liver produce bile that emulsifies cellulose?
No, the liver produces bile that emulsifies fats.
Is bile the same as bile salts?
no, bile is different from bile salt.bile is the secretion of the liver consisting of water, bile salt,bile pigment,cholestorol,lecithin and several ion it emulsifies lipids prior to their digestion.
Produce by the liver this emulsifies fats to make digestion easier?
bile.
Does the liver produce anything else but bile?
Actually the liver does produce other products. Proteins: albumin, fibrinogen and globulins Lipids and lipoproteins.
What emulsifies fats to make digestion easier that is produced by the liver?
bile salts
What is the purpose of soft endoplasmic reticulum?
They build up peroxisomes .They produce lipids specially steroids.Engage in detoxification in liver.

What does the smooth endoplasmic riticulum do?
It deactivates hormones in liver.Stores Ca2+ in skeletal muscles.They produce lipids specially steroids.Engage in detoxification in liver.
Role of liver in the digestion of food?
It secretes bile for fat digestion. The hypatocystes (cells) of liver produce bile. The bile is stored in gallbladder. The bile enters the duodenum and emulsifies the fats. It also reduces the acidity of chyme.
Where are liver secretions stored?
Primary secretion of the liver is the raw secretion of substances by hepatocytes into the bile canaliculi. This kind of secretion has not yet been modified by the epithelial cells lining the bile ducts, which normally increase the amount of bicarbonate ions in the primary secretion as it passes by. A similar kind of primary secretion is that which is released by the end pieces of the salivary glands, which is later modified by epithelial cells lining the salivary ducts.
Where in the body are lipids absorbed?
LIVER
