how are fat in digest in our body? what are this process take place
Answers
Answer:
Fat digestion takes place in the small intestine. The alkaline secretion of the liver, bile, is carried to the small intestine by the bile duct. The process starts with emulsification (break down) of large fat globule by the salt of bile into smaller micelles to facilitate further enzymatic reaction and digestion process. The fat-digesting lipase enzyme in pancreatic juice and intestinal juices digest the fat in micelles into triacylglycerols and then fatty acids and glycerols. These fat digestion products are then absorbed by the intestinal mucosa and are carried to tissues by the lymphatic system and blood where they either serve as energy fuel or are stored after re-esterification.
Explanation:
Fats are digested in the small intestine. The secretion of liver, called bile, breaks down the large globules of fat into smaller globules. This is called emulsification of fats. The bile also makes the medium alkaline so that the pancreatic enzyme containing lipase further digest fats to form fatty acids.
