Answer 1

Answer:

Emulsification is a process where two liquids that do not mix are mixed, in digestion, it is the breaking down of fat globules in the duodenum into tiny droplets

Explanation:

The substance which performs emulsification is called bile

Bile is synthesized in the liver

Bile is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder

Once bile has been synthesized, it moves out of the liver through the hepatic ducts, the ducts (left and right) join to form the common hepatic duct which joins the duct from the gallbladder called the cystic duct. This bile duct enters the small intestine through a sphinter (Oddi) below the stomach.
