The Story of Lipid Digestion and Absorption The Story of Lipid Digestion and Absorption -- In the small intestine lipids are emulsified___. Pancreatic ___ is then able to hydrolyze triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides. Short- and medium-chain fatty acids are absorbed into the ____ and transported to the liver. Long-chain fatty acids and monoglycerides are absorbed into the intestinal cell where they form new_____. These new molecules are packaged with cholesterol, phospholipids, and protein to form carriers called____. These carriers are then absorbed and transported by the _____ to the bloodstream and then all over the body. Fill in the blanks.

Small Intestine: __________ is excreted to bring fat and watery substance together again to do their work. Triglycerides are split into __________ and __________. Then, __________, __________ and __________ cling together in balls surrounded by __________ emulsifiers. Bile is an __________. The __________ makes bile. The __________ stores bile. Transports Of Fats: Small fat molecules go directly into the blood. large fat molecules need help to travel through the blood so they travel with a carrier protein (an assembled package of lipid and protein) called a __________. An example of a carrier protein is a __________. Word Bank: Glycerol Backbone, fatty acid (used twice), bile (used twice), emulsifier, phospholipid, Lipoprotein, chylomicron, liver, gallbladder, monoglyceride

Part A Drag the labels to the appropriate location in the figure. Intestinal cells secrete chylomicrons into the ISF by exocytosis. Lipids ingested. Micelles release lipids, which enter intestinal cells and form chylomicrons. Bile salts are reabsorbed, released, and returned to the liver. Chylomicrons diffuse into intestinal lacteals and enter the lymphatic system. Chewing reduces food particle size. Lingual lipase splits triglycerides. Micelle. Monoglycerides fatty acids. Bile salts emulsify lipids. Pancreatic lipase breaks down triglycerides, and micelles form. Mixing in the stomach reduces food particle size. Lingual lipase continues lipid breakdown. Triglycerides + lipids and proteins.

Drag each statement into the appropriate bin depending on whether the event occurs in the lumen of the small intestine, in a small intestine epithelial cell, or in a lacteal. a) Lipase breaks triglycerides down into monoglycerides and fatty acids. b) Monoglycerides and fatty acids are reassembled to form triglycerides. c) Chylomicrons are transported in this structure to veins. d) This structure contains lymph. e) Chylomicrons leave this structure by exocytosis. f) Triglycerides are coated with phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins to form chylomicrons.
