Explanation / Answer
1. Red blood cells contain the protein Hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is helpful for the carrying of oxygen to all body parts and also acts as scavenger by waste removal from the human body.
2. The heme from their hemoglobin converted into bilirubin. Bilirubin is an yellow compound that occurs in the normal catabolic pathway that breaks down heme in vertebrates including human beings.
3.The liver further converts it into Bile, which is stored in the gall blader
The liver produces bile (dark green to yellowish brown fluid) for the digestion of lipids. And the bile juice was stored in the gall bladder. After eating, this stored bile is secreted into the duodenum.
4. When you eat fat, the cells of your small intestine release the hormone cholecystokinin
Cholecystokinin is responsible for stimulating the digestion of fat and protein. It is synthesized and secreted by enteroendocrine cells of the duodenum,
5. Contraction of the gall bladder forces the bile into the duodenum, where it emulsifies fats and aids in their digestion.
