c. What is the consequence on digestion if Bile is not secreted i
digestive tract
Answers
▪️(a.) Gastric glands in stomach release hydrochloric acid, enzyme pepsin and mucus. The mucus protects the inner lining of the stomach from the action of hydrochloric acid and enzyme pepsin. If mucus is not released, it will lead to erosion of inner lining of stomach, which may cause acidity and ulcer. Ultimately, mucus provides a protection against acids and enzymes in the stomach.
▪️(b.) Veins have thin walls because blood flows inside them with low pressure and with a low speed. Whereas arteries have thick walls because blood flows inside them with high pressure and with a high speed.
▪️(c.) If Bile is not secreted then the fats will not change or break down into small globules. And if it will not happen then it will become difficult to digest food.
