Figure 24.16 Fat <strong>Digestion</strong>:<br />

Emulsification , Fat Absorption,<br />

Bile Salt Recycling. This diagram<br />

shows how a fat globule<br />

floating along in the small intestine<br />

after a meal is emulsified by<br />

bile salts. Bile salts are produced<br />

in the liver, stored in the<br />

gallbladder, and passed down<br />

the bile duct. From fat globules,<br />

bile salts help remove small<br />

groups <strong>of</strong> lipid molecules. which<br />

in turn pass into cells lining the<br />

intestinal wall. The small group<br />

<strong>of</strong> lipid molecules becomes<br />

coated with protein and enters<br />

the lymph and eventually the<br />

blood circulation, and the bile<br />

salts are recycled and stored<br />

once again in the gallbladder.<br />
