Now, let's take a look
at what makes up bile.
00:04
There's six major parts to bile.
00:06
Bile salts, cholesterol, bicarbonate,
bilirubin, water, and phospholipids.
00:13
I know, there's a list again.
00:15
Watch closely and see what I've done
for you to help you chunk this information
so you remember it better.
00:21
Remember that is the
key to successful studying.
00:24
Nobody enjoys spending
hours and hours studying,
but I want to make sure the time you do
invest get you the best bang for your buck.
00:33
So let's take a look
first at bile salts.
00:36
Bile salts mix with
ingested fats and that's
what helps promote the
absorption of fats from the GI tract.
00:42
Remember food goes in your mouth down to
your stomach and into your small intestine.
00:47
So we're going to
start with bile salts.
00:49
They're kind of in a
category all by themselves.
00:53
Now, watch how
the words light up.
00:56
Okay, cholesterol,
bilirubin, and phospholipids.
01:01
We're going to group
these three together
because they're all end
products of metabolism.
01:07
Bile salts category
all by itself.
01:10
Cholesterol, bilirubin, and phospholipids
are all end products of metabolism.
01:16
Now, finally,
bicarbonate and water.
01:21
The third group are the
ones.. kind of think of them as
common things back down
with water and bicarbonate.
01:27
My nephew has a word for this.
01:30
Whenever he would have diarrhea he
would say, "Whoo. I have spicy poop."
That's because when you
have diarrhea things are moving
through your GI
tract way too quickly.
01:40
We haven't had time for the
water and bicarbonate to get there
and to calm things down.
01:45
So, you know with
acid and enzymes
that should not be exiting your
body that quickly exiting your body.
01:52
So water and bicarbonate
are the calmer downers.
01:56
So we've got 6 things but we
broke it into three categories.
02:01
Bile salts,
category all by itself.
02:04
End products of metabolism,
cholesterol, bilirubin, and phospholipids.
02:09
You got them there,
in the pink color.
02:11
And then kind of the grayish
color bicarbonate and water.
