Question
Answer briefly: How does bile help in the digestion of fats?
✓
Answer
The bile released into the duodenum contains bile pigments (bilirubin and biliverdin), bile salts, cholesterol and phospholipids but no enzymes. Bile helps in emulsification of fats, i.e. breaking down of fats into small micelles. It also activates lipases which carry out the digestion of fats.
