Which of the following is True of bile salts?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bile salts are substances produced by the liver that aid in the digestion of fats by emulsifying them, which helps to break down the larger fat droplets into smaller ones. This process occurs in the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine, where bile is released from the gallbladder into the digestive tract. Bile salts are not enzymes and are not manufactured by the pancreas. They do not increase the efficiency of pepsin action, which is an enzyme involved in protein digestion, and are not normally an ingredient of gastric juice, which is produced by the stomach.
