What are the various processes that take place in the duodenum?
Answer:
- Processes that take place in the duodenum are:
- Bile emulsifies the fat molecules present in the food into small globules.
- The pancreatic enzyme trypsin starts digesting the proteins and the pancreatic amylase breaks down the starch.
- Bile juice secreted by the liver and bicarbonate ions are secreted by the duodenal wall which makes the medium alkaline.
