Fats are usually any ester of fatty acids, or a mixture of such compounds.
Firstly,
- Digestion of fat takes place in the SMALL INTESTINE .
- The small intestine or small bowel is an organ in the gastrointestinal tract where most of the absorption of nutrients , minerals from food and digestion of fats takes place
Secondly,
- Fat reaches the small intestine in the form of large globules.
- The liver releases bile juice which emulsifies the fat i.e. it breaks down the large globules into smaller globules.
- Lipase acts and breaks down the globules into molecules.
And that's how digestion of fats take place in our body.
