Gullet Size. The angle of the points, the shape of the panels, and the width of the gullet plate work together to create a specific gullet size, and that size in turn determines how the saddle sits on the horse.
Carbohydrates and proteins dissolve in water, which allows digestive enzymes to go to work on them, but fat does not. Your liver produces a substance called bile, which is secreted into the small intestine. This breaks up fat in a process called emulsification, which effectively make the fats water-soluble. Digestive enzymes in the small intestine can then break them down.
1 Lipase-fats (lipids): in stomach and pancreas-released into the small intestine. 2  Pepsin-proteins into absorbable peptides and peptones: stomach. 3  Gelatinase-gelatin: stomach. 4  Maltase-maltose into monosaccharides: produced by the pancreas-released into the small intestine.
