Learning Objectives
Blueprint ID Learning Objectives
6359 Distinguish short chain, medium chain, long chain, and very long chain fatty acids and describe the systems for naming fatty acids and double bond positions.
6361 Identify the main long chain fatty acids and indicate which of these are described as "essential" and why.
6362 Describe the main classes of lipids
6363 Outline the digestion of lipids along the GI tract and indicate the role of the pancreas and gallbladder in this process.
6364 Describe functions of the following in lipid disgestion: cholesterol esterase; pancreatic lipase and co-lipase; phospholipases; and bile salts.
6367 Outline the processes for production and metabolism of chylomicrons and indicate the relationship of this to blood triglyceride levels.
11462 List the main types of lipid absorbed from the intestinal lumen.
11463 List the four main fat soluble vitamins, describe their absorption, and briefly describe their functional role.
11464 Describe the difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, and the importance of the position of carbon-carbon double bonds.
