The small intestine contain a hair-like protrusion called villi. They aid in digestion by increasing surface area for nutrients to be absorbed. On those villi, there are absorption sites called lacteals. Lacteals are specialized vessels that absorb fatty acids.

Where is a fatty acids absorbed in the body?
it is absorbed in the small intestine.
Can molecules of undigested fat and some fatty acids be absorbed by lymph vessels called lacteals?
Yes, lacteals are small lymphatic vessels that absorb fats and fatty acids from the small intestine.
Where are glucose and amino acids normally absorbed?
Small intestine
What is the structure in the small intestine for absorbing?
the villi in the small intestines.
Nutrients like sugar amino acids and fatty acids are absorbed into the lining of the?
small intesine
How does absorption of fat differ from glucose?
Fat is absorbed by lacteals in the small intestine these have large surface areas to help with absorption and capillaries to absorb the fatty acids. Glucose and Amino acids is absorbed in the glomerulus in the kidney transported by the blood to the heart etc then it is reabsorbed in the bowman's capsule in the kidney.
How do products of digestion enter the blood?
Amino Acids are absorbed into circulation after the complete digestion of proteins.
Where does fats start changing to fatty acids and glycerol?
Fats are completely digested in the small intestine
Which digested foods are absorbed by lacteals?
Triglycerides are absorbed by the lacteals of the small intestine. Triglycerides go into the lymphatic system and are converted into chyle.
What is the portion of the gastrointestinal tract that absorbs food?
The process of digestion is mainly in the stomach but lots of things are also digested in the small intestine e.g. maltose into glucose (enzyme used is maltase), protein into amino acids (protease is the enzyme) and lipids into glycerol and fatty acids (lipase is the enzyme) When these have been broken down they are absorbed through the lining of the small intestine where they are absorbed into the blood (absorbtion) and used as raw materials for growth and tissue repair (assimilation). So the answer is the small intestine Hope that helped =)
How does small intestine help in the process of digestion?
there is an enzyme called lipase which converts fats into fatty acids.
What organ is involved with the deamination of amino acids?
Through researching this question i have found out that the stomach absorbs proteins which are made up of amino acids. After the stomach amino acids are then absorbed by the duodenum ( a buffer for acids in the stomach in small intestine, called sodium bicarbonate).
