Probably the most famous Hooverville was the one founded on Anacostia Flats, just outside Washington, D.C., in 1932. Thousands of World War I veterans, calling themselves the Bonus Army, had arrived in the nation's capital to demand early payment of a bonus they had been promised at the end of the war.
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
Lipase is the primary digestant used to split fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Although little actual fat digestion occurs in the stomach, gastric lipase does digest already emulsified fats such as in egg yolk and cream. Emulsification is the real key to the proper digestion of fats. The large fat molecule presents comparatively small surfaces for the lipase to work on, so the process of emulsification by the action of bile produced by the liver is necessary.
