Absorbing Fats - Bile in Action
from Chemistry in Everyday Life · host Johannes Vogel
After talking about red blood cells two episodes ago, this episode looks at a different bodily fluid. One that helps in the digestion of fats. We are talking about bile. A liquid associated with bad experiences, but is essential to our survival.
