Explanation:
Fats are present in the form of large globules in the small intestine. The small intestine receives the secretions from the liver and the pancreas. The bile salts (from the liver) break down the large fat globules into smaller globules so that the pancreatic enzyme lipase can easily act on them. This is referred to as emulsification of fats. This process takes place in the small intestine.

It makes its way through the stomach into the small intestine, where it isdigested, after the intake of food by the mouth. In the small intestine the nutrients from the digested food are absorbed into the bloodstream through small pores.
