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

(N/A) Fats are present in the form of large globules in the small intestine. The small intestine receives secretions in the form of bile juice from the liver and pancreatic juice from the pancreas. The bile salts (from the liver) break down the large fat globules into smaller globules,increasing the surface area for the action of enzymes. This process is known as the emulsification of fats. Subsequently,the enzyme lipase (present in pancreatic juice) acts on these emulsified fats to break them down into fatty acids and glycerol. This entire process takes place in the small intestine.
