Question

The vast majority of fat digestion occurs in the 1.___________________________ portion of the GI tract. It begins when triglycerides are emulsified by 2. ___________________________ from the gallbladder. The bile was originally made by the 3.___________________________ and is made of cholesterol with a small amino acid attached. (p.206 of text) This substance from the gall bladder coats the fat and forms a lipid droplet called a 4.___________________________. An enzyme called 5.___________________________ is then released by the 6.___________________________ and that enzyme will break down triglycerides into monoglycerides, 7.___________________________, and 8.___________________________. This lipid droplet (with fat soluble vitamins and cholesterol included with the triglyceride break down products) will cross into the villi cell. Once in the cell, the long chain fatty acids and 9.___________________________ recombine to form triglycerides and these join with fat soluble vitamins, proteins, 10.________________________________________________________ _ and 11.________________________________________________ to form the 12._______________________________________________, which is one of several lipoproteins that transport lipids in the blood. The chylomicron will move into the 13.___________________________ system and eventually enter the blood stream. In contrast to the above mentioned lipids, the glycerol and the 14. __________________________________________ are smaller compounds and can move directly into the cell and on to the 15.___________________________.

The process of lipid digestion begins even before you take your first bite of food. Just the smell of food can begin digestive juices flowing. The most common lipids found in foods are primarily in the form of triglycerides. These lipids are hydrolyzed during digestion to yield monoglycerides, glycerol, and free fatty acids. Rank the events from taking a bite of food rich in lipids to triglycerides being released to cells. 1) Mechanical digestion by chewing breaks food down. 2) Gastric lipase digests some triglycerides. 3) Lingual lipase is secreted from the pancreas and breaks down triglycerides. 4) The pancreas secretes gastric lipase into the small intestine, where the majority of fat digestion occurs. 5) With the aid of pancreatic lipase, fats are further broken down into free fatty acids and monoglycerides. 6) During digestion, gastric lipases break down fat into fatty acids and triglyceride molecules. 7) Products of fat digestion are packaged into micelles and transported to the enterocytes. 8) Lipid-digesting enzymes from the pancreas break down the triglycerides into two free fatty acids and a monoglyceride. 9) Lipids are transported throughout the body.

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

00:02 So the majority of fat digestion occurs in the lower portion of the gi because it starts in the small intestine below the duodenum, which is the lower gi.
00:21 It starts when the triglycerides are emulsified by the bile acids released from the gallbladder.
00:33 See the gallbladder is here.
00:35 It says green.
00:38 The bile was actually originally made by the liver.
00:42 It just gets stored and released by the gall.
00:44 Called bladder.
00:51 So the bile acids are made of cholesterol with an amino acid, and they coat the fat and form a lipid droplet called a mycel.
01:06 And then you have an enzyme called lipase that gets released from the pancreas.
01:18 So there's a lot of organs involved...
