List the role of bile on chyme.
Answers
Answer:
bile contains bile salts that emulsify fats... ie., large globules of fats are converted to small particles so that action of enzymes are easy.The enzyme which acts on fats is pancreatic lipase.
hi mate,
==>Bile emulsifies (breaks into small particles) lipids (fats), which aids in the mechanical digestion of fats. The pancreas and gland cells of the small intestine secrete digestive enzymes that chemically break down complex food molecules into simpler ones.
==>... When food passes through the duodenum, digestion is complete.Most chemical digestion takes place in the duodenum by chemicals secreted by the liver, pancreas and small intestine.
==>The other two sections of the small intestine, the jejunum and the ileum, absorb food molecules by way of the villi directly into the blood stream.
==>The pyloric sphincter controls the flow of chyme from the stomach into the small intestine.
==>We previously learned that the pyloric sphincter controls the flow of chyme as it passes out of the stomach and into the small intestine. Chyme is the name given to the partially digested food mass.
==>Chyme has a low pH that is countered by the production of bile, helping to further digest food.
==> Chyme is part liquid and part solid: a thick semifluid mass of partially digested food and digestive secretions that is formed in the stomach and small intestine during digestion.
i hope it helps you.
