In what does the liquids from pancreas and liver help to digest fats carbohydrates?
Pancreatic Juice
* Lipases: Break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
* Amylases: Break down carbohydrates into sugars.
* Proteases: Break down proteins into amino acids.
Bile
* Emulsifies fats: Bile helps to break down fats into smaller droplets so that they can be more easily digested by lipases.
* Neutralizes stomach acid: Bile helps to neutralize the stomach acid that enters the small intestine. This is important because stomach acid can damage the lining of the small intestine.
