Explain the part of triglyceride digestion that occurs in the stomach


The second stage of triglyceride digestion begins when food enters your stomach, stimulating the release of gastrin from specialized stomach cells. The hormone gastrin stimulates the release of gastric juices in the stomach. Gastrin also causes the muscular wall of the stomach to vigorously contract. Circulating in the blood, gastrin quickly stimulates the release of gastric lipase, an enzyme produced in the stomach. Gastric lipase, a component of the gastric juices, picks up where lingual lipase left off by further cleaving fatty acids from the glycerol molecules.
