amphipatic compounds (both hydrophilic/hydrophobic) synthesized in liver & secreted by gallbladder into intestinal lumen to emulsify fats in the intestine bile salts gut hormone secreted by intestinal cells when stomach content enters the intestine; stimulates contraction of gallbladder, release of bile acids & secretion of pancreatic enzymes
