Draw a diagram that illustrates lipid digestion and absorption, make sure you include where these steps are occurring and the important role of bile! Make sure it is clearly labeled and include a brief description for any sequences and processes.
Important role of bile : Since bile increases the absorption of fats, it is an important part of the absorption of the fat-soluble substances, such as the vitamins A, D, E, and K. Besides its digestive function, bile serves also as the route of excretion for bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cells recycled by the liver.
