Which of the following statements regarding lipid digestion and absorption is TRUE?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of fatty acids in the duodenum stimulates the secretion of CCK (cholecystokinin), which in turn stimulates the secretion of pancreatic enzymes such as lipase for lipid digestion. This hormone also causes the contraction of the gallbladder to release bile into the duodenum, which emulsifies fats for better absorption. Secretin is also released in response to acidic chyme entering the duodenum, but its function is to stimulate the release of bicarbonate from the pancreas to neutralize the acidic chyme, rather than contraction of the gallbladder. Gastrin is released from the stomach and stimulates acid secretion, not bile synthesis. The presence of fatty acids in the stomach does not stimulate the secretion of secretin, and it does not inhibit motility of the large intestine.
