Document Summary
Lipids: digestion and absorption: long chain fatty acids aren"t water soluble, so packaged in lipoproteins to make its way it water soluble) they have to be around the body (make, short chain fatty acids are more water soluble so they can take the hepatic route, digestion in the small intestines by pancreatic lipases, bile salts stored in the gall bladder are released allow the fat to be broken down (cid:224) taken into the cells (cid:224) reassembled in there, packaged into chylomicrons (cid:224) enter lacteals (cid:224) thoracic duct (cid:224) bloodstream, in muscles and adipose, the capillaries are lined with lipoprotein lipases, an enzyme that takes fatty acids into the fat and muscle tissue (cid:224) store them (adipose) or use them for fuel (muscle, if too much carbs or fat are ingested (cid:224) gets stored as fat. Proteins stabilize it molecules the molecules absorbed, packaged blood lymphatic.
