Bile juice is a digestive fluid produced by the liver. It is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder. Its main function is to convert fats in food into fatty acids, which are absorbed in the gut. Below are the important functions of bile. Digestion Bile is essential for the complete d...

A digestive juice secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder; aids in the digestion of fats Common Curiosities What does vile mean? Vile refers to something extremely unpleasant, morally bad, or of poor quality. 12 What is bile? Bile is a digestive fluid produced by the liver, cr...
1. Fat Emulsification and Digestion The bilephysicallybreaks down big particles of dietary fats into small droplets and thus makes them more digestible; this is known asfat emulsification[1]. Next, the enzyme lipase from the pancreatic juicechemicallybreaks down fat molecules (triglycerides) into fat...
(a) Define bile. (b) What is its function? What is the importance of emulsification in lipid digestion? Describe how bile and pancreatic juice secretion into the small intestine are regulated. Explain the pathway of bile to the duodenum. ...

The function of the individual subunits has not yet been determined; however, coexpression of both subunits and their assembly into a complex is required for trafficking to the plasma membrane and solute transport.217,218 Soon after their cloning, OSTα-OSTβ was identified as a candidate ileal...
Enterohepatic Circulation of Bile Acids Among the digestive secretions, which include saliva, gastric juice, and pancreatic juice, bile is unique in that bile acids, its major constituent, are absorbed from the distal intestine, returned to the liver, and secreted into bile. This continuous cycle ...
function to emulsify dietary fat (Fig. 62-4). Lecithin and the BAs, particularly, have considerable ability to lower surface tension. This enables them to function asemulsifying agents, and to dissolvelong-chain fatty acids(LCFAs) and water-insoluble soaps. When fat digestion is impaired due ...
and the increase in the diameter indicates that there is obstruction at the end of the biliary tract, and the widened common bile duct relieves the pressure in the bile duct and pancreatic duct to some extent, thereby reducing the return of bile or pancreatic juice and reducing the chance of...
