Solutions

Expert Solution

As no text from the chapter has been attached thus I am answering in general.

When digestive system does not works properly, fat is excreted by the digestive system inspite of being absorbed by the body. This condition is known as steatorrhoea.

Malfunctioning of the digestive system can be attributed to:

Cystic fibrosis- It is a genetic disorder, that affects the normal functioning of digestive system by the deposition of excessive sticky sputum.
Inflammation of the pancreas or chronic pancreatitis may also lead to the occurrence of steatorrhoea. Improper functioning of pancreas will secrete abnormally low level of lipase as a result fat will not be digested or absorbed by the body, and excreted as such.
Blockage in the bile duct or biliary atresia will affect bile secretion. Bile helps in the emulsification of the fats. This also leads to the occurrence of fats in the excreta.
Bacterial infection causing whipple's disease affects the digestion of fats.
Crohn's disease in which inflammation of the bowel's occurs is also a causative agent for this ailment.
