Fat Metabolism Flashcards
Na
These cells are stimulated as fat travels down the duodenum
Enteroendocrine
Enteroendocrine cells release which hormones?
Cholecystokinin (CCK) & Secretin
What does cholecystokinin do?
Tells the gallbladder to contract squeezing bile into the duodenum
What specifically emulsifies fat?
Bile salts
What organ releases Lipase?
Pancreas
What 2 hormones stimulate the release of pancreatic juice?
CCK cholecystokinin & secretin
Concerning digestion what does the pancreatic juice contain?
Amalyse, Lipase,Protease & bicarbonate ions
Why is releasing bicarbonate from the pancreatic juice important to digestion of fat?
It raises the PH so the lipase can work.
What do lipase and colipase do to triglycerides?
They cut it apart into monoglycerides to permit digestion by the intestinal wall
After lipase does its job what are the fatty acids, cholesterol, and monoglycerides called?
Missels
What is the cell of the intestinal lining callled?
Enterocyte
In the enterocyte which organelle is responsible for rebuilding the lipid?
Smooth endoplasmic reticlum
What does the endoplasmic reticlum build from missels?
Triglycerides and cholesterol
Triglycerides and cholesterol go through the golgi apparatus to form what?
Chylomicron
What are large triglycerides-rich lipoproteins produced in enterocytes?
Chylomicrons
