Answer:

B) fats

Explanation:

Common hepatic duct is s the part of the biliary tract which means that is involved in the secretion of bile.

Bile salts secreted from the bill have an important role in emulsification of lipids (fats). They have the ability to aggregate around lipids thanks to their amphipatic nature. Amphipatic nature means that they have hydrophobic side which binds directly to lipids and hydrophilic side which are faced outwards. Lipids enveloped with bile salts are called micelles.

Formation of micelles increases the surface area of fat, which is appropriate for the the action of the enzyme pancreatic lipase (perform digestion of triglycerides).

Does the study of disease require Science? If yes, why?

Stella [2.4K]

First of all science is needed to study most things including diseases and this is so since the study of diseases would require a research organism of course and this is any creature that scientist would use to study life and so without science this would not be possible as science allows for the study of animals and humans which are likely to be vectors and diseases requires epidemiology which are scientific disciplines similar to biology to better understand the disease processes and so science is definitely needed.

When blood glucose levels rise, the hormone ___ is released from the ___ to convert excess glucose into glycogen, a short-term e

Mariana [72]

Answer:

insulin; pancreas.

Explanation:

An endocrine system refers to a series of ductless glands and organs responsible for the production and secretion of hormones that are used by the body for the performance of various functions such as metabolism, controlling growth, reproduction, mood, sleep, etc. These hormones are secreted directly into the circulatory system (blood) and then transported to the organs and tissues in the body.

Basically, the endocrine system contributes significantly to the state of homeostasis in the body.

Homeostasis can be defined as a process through which a living organism maintains a steady or stable physical, internal and chemical environment that is ideal to enhance life and proper functionality.

Generally, when the blood glucose levels of a person rise, through an endocrine system, the hormone known as insulin is released from the pancreas to convert excess glucose into glycogen, which is typically a short-term energy storage molecule for the body.

In conclusion, the endocrine system maintain homeostasis by releasing insulin from the pancreas to decrease blood sugar and releasing glucagon to increase blood sugar.
