Document Summary
Fats must be absorbed, and the effectiveness of the intestine for absorbing them is greatly increased by the bile salts emulsifying the large fat globules (cid:8226) (cid:9675) Let us consider where bile is made, how it is stored and some interesting property of bile salts (cid:8226) Volume: 0. 5 - 1. 0 l / day (cid:9675) (cid:9675) Now, we said that secretion by the git is intermittent and increases after the intake of a meal. The liver is different and instead secretes bile at a relatively constant rate through the day. Again, there is plenty of bicarbonate to help neutralize the acidic chyme. That"s the same percentage as pancreatic juice, but to be absolutely clear, there are no enzymes in bile. Bile solid components can be categorized in 4 groups (cid:9675) Bile acids (bile salts): these help with emulsification. This is the only ingredient of bile that is active in fat emulsification (cid:61607)
