50
What does lipase need to access the lipids to chemically start to break them down?
colipase
51
What does a lipase break a triglyceride down into?

100
What are four ways the cephalic phase is an example of our feedforward mechanism?
1. CNS tells our stomach to relax before food enters it 2. Peristalsis is initiated before food gets to the stomach 3. Stimulates the secretion of gastrin from our G cells 4. Stimulates the secretion of histamine from our ECL cells
