Question

How are fats digested in our body? Where does this take place?

Answer 1

$\bullet$ The digestion of fats begins in the small intestine. Bile and pancreatic juice are released into the small intestine.
$\bullet$ The bile contains bile salts that act on the large fat globules and convert them into smaller droplets coated with bile salts. This process is called emulsification. ​
$\bullet$ After emulsification, pancreatic lipase breaks down the emulsified fat.
$\bullet$ ​Enzymes present in the intestinal juices breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
