Bile works like washing up liquid… it splits big fat globules up into small fat globules.
The Liver and the Gall Bladder • The liver produces bile • The gall bladder stores bile • Bile splits big blobs of fat into smaller blobs which are easier for enzymes to digest
The Pancreas • The pancreas produces and releases the enzyme lipase • Lipase breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol Fat Lipase Fatty acids + glycerol
Now large insoluble food molecules have been broken down into small soluble molecules Carbohydrate Fat Protein e. g. starch Amylase Lipase Pepsin

The Small Intestine • All the nutrients from digestion are absorbed by the small intestine • The surface of the small intestine is covered in villi The Villi • Villi increase the surface area of the small intestine. This means that more nutrients can be absorbed and faster.
Features of the villi Thin epithelium The skin of each villus is only one cell thick, this allows absorption to happen very fast. Lacteal The lacteal absorbs fatty acids and glycerol Good Blood Supply The blood capillaries absorb simple sugars and amino acids
The Large Intestine
Large Intestine Large intestine Appendix Rectum All that enters the large intestine is waste material and water.
The Large Intestine • The large intestine absorbs excess water from the waste material The Rectum • The rectum stores faeces until it is convenient to expel it
