Question

What fluid secreted into the small intestine during digestion contains cholesterol, emulsification agents , and phospholipids?

Answer 1

Bile, secreted into the small intestine during digestion, contains cholesterol, emulsifying agents ( bile salts and acids ) phospholipids, bile pigments , electrolytic chemicals and water.

Explanation:

Bile is a greenish yellow fluid produced in the liver of most vertebrates. It is continually produced in the liver and transported to the gall bladder via the bile duct.

It aids in digestion by emulsifying fats and neutralising the hydrochloric acid that passes from the stomach to the small intestine. It also carries waste ( steroids , drugs , haemoglobin pigment and cholesterol ) removed by the liver to the excretory system.
Bile is also essential for the intestinal absorption of vitamin K.
