Question

how does butter in your food get digested and absorbed in the body ​

Answer 1

Digestion of Butter: 

• Butter is a fat product.
• It gets digested in the small intestine by the action of bile juice.
•The bile juice secreted by the liver contains bile salts such as bilirubin and biliverdin which break down large fat globules into smaller globules so that the pancreatic enzymes can easily act on them.

Answer 2

☯️ $\sf\underline\orange{ Digestion ~~of~~Butter~(Fat)}$ :-

1. Butter is a fat (lipid).
2. It is digested only in the small intestine.
3. Bile juice contains Bile salts.
4. They emulsify fats into very small micelles.
5. Bile also activates lipase.
6. This lipase converts emulsified fats into fatty acids and glycerols.

☯️ $\sf\underline\orange{ Absorption ~~of~~butter}$ :-

1. 'Fatty acids and glycerol', being insoluble in water cannot be absorbed into the blood directly.
2. They are first modified into small micelles, which move into intestinal mucosal cells.
3. They are reformed into very small protein coated fat globules called chylomicrons.
4. Chylomicrons are transported into the lymph capillaries.
5. The lymph vessels ultimately release the absorbed substances into the blood stream.
6. The chylomicrons are broken down to fatty acids and glycerol by the action of the enzyme 'lipoprotein lipase'.
7. They diffuse into the adipocytes of the adipose tissue and liver for storage.
