What else can I help you with?
The absorption of which type of nutrient would be affected if the liver no longer produced bile?
Lipids, which are emulsified by bile to make it easier for the molecules to be digested by enzymes.
Is bile are not digested?
BILE is digested. BILE gives the color to your feces. It helps to break down fats.
How are fats chemically and mechanically digested in the small intestine?
In the small intestine, fats are chemically digested by bile salts, which break them down into smaller droplets, making it easier for enzymes like lipase to further break them down into fatty acids and glycerol. Mechanically, fats are emulsified by the churning action of the small intestine, which helps mix the fats with digestive enzymes for better absorption.
What is digested in the gallbladder?
It releases bile which emulsifies fat.
Which nutrient is digested by ptyalin?
Starch is digested by ptyalin.
What is the soupy partly digested material called?
bile
Where is fat chemically and mechanically digested?
Fat is chemically digested primarily in the small intestine, where bile salts from the liver emulsify fats, allowing pancreatic lipase to break them down into fatty acids and glycerol. Mechanically, fat is initially broken down in the mouth through mastication (chewing) and further emulsified in the stomach by churning. The majority of fat digestion occurs in the small intestine, where the emulsification process enhances enzymatic action.
Where is the bile kept in the liver?
Bile is stored in the gall bladder and helps break down lipids in the food being digested.
What nutrient is digested by more enyzmes than any other nutrient?
Protien
Which nutrient is digested in the ileum?
Nothing is digested by the liver in the digestive system at all. So there is basically no answer to it.
What happens to digested food when digestion is completed?
It turns to Bile and is excreted out of your rectum.
Why food is completely digested in duedunem?
Food is primarily digested in the duodenum because it is the first section of the small intestine where digestive enzymes and bile are introduced. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, while bile from the liver emulsifies fats, making them easier to digest. This combination of enzymes and bile facilitates the complete digestion of food particles into absorbable nutrients. As a result, by the time food passes through the duodenum, most of the digestion is accomplished before moving to the jejunum for nutrient absorption.
