The major role of absorption in the ileum is to reclaim bile salts to be recycled back to the liver. True or False

The correct answer is "True".

Explanation:

It is true that the major role of absorption in the ileum is to reclaim bile salts to be recycled back to the liver. The ileum is the final part of the small intestine, serving as the terminator of the ileocecal sphincter. The ileum is the final step of absorption in the small intestine and while most nutrients are absorbed in the jejunum, the ileum absorbs the bile salts and some vitamins, like vitamin B12.
