OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

its pancreas..because thats d organ which secrets the hormone responsible for breakdown....sorry for replying late

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :) @shrutipande9 why its not liver ??? One of my friend said that liver emulsifies fat so that help in digestion but Is liver a organ ?

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

liver is definitely an organ....see if we are talking about the dietary lipids and their breakdown..then the 1st step is pancreatic lipase...then transported to liver for actual beta oxidation of fatty acids....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I got it . Thank you so much for such a awesome explanation :)

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):
