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.
When we take in the fats in the form of food, it first enters our mouth of buccall cavity where it is grinded to smaller pieces so that the stomach can easily digest it. Then, it passes through the food pipe esophagus which leads it to the stomach where the food digests and pases on to the small intestine where the bile salts secreted by the pancreas digests the fats and dissolves it into the body.
