Identify the correct statement regarding lipid digestion and absorption:
1. Most lipids are asorbed without digestion as they are not macromolecules
2. The products of lipid digestion are resynthesized into triglycerides in intestinal epithelial cells
3. The products of lipid digestion diffuse into capillaries in the vicinity of the intestinal epithelium
4. The products of lipid digestion travel in the circulatory system in the form of micelles

Identify the incorrect statement:

1. Increasing acidity in the stomach stimulates endocrine cells in the gastric epithelium to produce somatostatin that inhibits further HCl secretion

2. HCl production increases in response to carbohydrates entering the stomach

3. HCl secretion is inhibited when acidity increases in the small intestine

4. Gastrin, histamine, and acetylcholine all act to increase HCl secretion
