Bile is secreted by the liver and acts to emulsify fats in the small intestine. It helps break down large fat droplets into smaller droplets, making it easier for enzymes to digest and absorb fats.
Yes! Bile salts are produced in the liver, stored in the gall bladder and secreted in the small intestine's duodenum. Because they emulsify fats, they are often thought of as digestion's detergent.
The enzyme secreted from the gastric gland in the stomach that acts on proteins is pepsin. It is produced in an inactive form called pepsinogen, which is activated by hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach. Pepsin breaks down proteins into smaller peptides, facilitating protein digestion.
it is secreted by the pancrease.
No, bile does not neutralize stomach acid. Bile is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, where it helps to emulsify fats in the small intestine. Stomach acid is mainly neutralized by bicarbonate secreted by the pancreas in the small intestine.
Its a hormone secreted by adrenal glands. Its secreted during anxiety and excitement. It secreted when ACTH hormone is secreted by pituitary gland in brain. chemically, it is sterol(=steroid) i.e. Derivative of lipids.
Bile
Bile is stored, not created, in the gall bladder before it is secreted into the duodenum to emulsify fats.No
Yes! Bile salts are produced in the liver, stored in the gall bladder and secreted in the small intestine's duodenum. Because they emulsify fats, they are often thought of as digestion's detergent.
A hormone is the compound secreted into the bloodstream by one type of cell that acts to control the function of another type of cell.
Bile is a bitter yellow fluid that is secreted by the liver in order to emulsify fats and absorb fat-soluble vitamins (like A,D,E&K). Bile is primarily stored in the gall-bladder.

To break the large fat down into smaller fats pieces.
Leptin is a protein that is secreted from adipose (fat) cells. It acts on receptors in the Central Nervous System and other sites to induce energy expenditure and inhibit food intake (Margetic et al. 2002).
Calcitonin is the hormone that lowers calcium levels.
Bile acts to some extent as a detergent, helping to emulsify fats (increasing surface area to help enzyme action), and thus aids in their absorption in the small intestine
it is secreted by the pancrease.
