Structures Absorption Fats Small Intestine Composition Micelles Droplets

Micelles (fat, cholesterol, phospholipids with bile salts) and chylomicrons (fats with cholesterol and proteins) are the structures for fat absorption in the small intestine.

Las micelas (grasa, colesterol, fosfolípidos con sales biliares) y los quilomicrones (grasas con colesterol y proteínas) son las estructuras para la absorción de grasas en el intestino delgado.
