GI juices
Fat
In the stomach,
the fat and
watery GI juices
tend to separate.
The enzymes in
the GI juices
can’t get at the
fat.
When fat enters
the small intestine,
the gallbladder
secretes bile. Bile
has an affinity for
both fat and water,
so it can bring the
fat into the water.
Bile’s emulsifying
action converts
large fat globules
into small droplets
that repel each
other.
After
emulsification,
more fat is
exposed to the
enzymes, making
fat digestion more
efficient.

In the gallbladder,
bile is stored.
In the liver,
bile is
made from
cholesterol.
In the colon, bile that has
been trapped by soluble
fibers is lost in feces.
In the small intestine,
bile emulsifies fats.

Editor's Notes

  • #24 Figure 5-12 Emulsification of Fat by Bile Like bile, detergents are emulsifiers and work the same way, which is why they are effective in removing grease spots from clothes. Molecule by molecule, the grease is dissolved out of the spot and suspended in the water, where it can be rinsed away.
  • #27 Figure 5-14 Enterohepatic Circulation Most of the bile released into the small intestine is reabsorbed and sent back to the liver to be reused. This cycle is called the enterohepatic circulation of bile. Some bile is excreted.
