| Front | How are triglycerides formed. |
|---|---|
| Back | Lipids hydrolyzed by lipase to form monoglyceride and fatty acids. Monoglycerides and fatty acids combined with bile salts to undergo emulsification and form micelles. Micelles come in contact with the epithelial cell and break down releasing monoglycerides and fatty acids and diffuse across the membrane. Monoglycerides and fatty acids transported to endoplasmic reticulum to reform into triglycerides. Triglycerides associate with cholesterol and lipoproteins to form chylomicrons. Chylomicrons moved out by exocytosis and enter lymphatic capillaries. |
