Digestion of some fats can begin in the mouth where lingual lipase breaks down some short chain lipids into diglycerides.
However fats are mainly digested in the small intestine. The presence of fat in the small intestine produces hormones that stimulate the release of pancreatic lipase from the pancreas and bile from the liver which helps in the emulsification of fats for absorption fatty acids.
What else can I help you with?
Chemical digestion of fat takes place where?

small intestine
Is the presence of gas in the body a sign of fat burning?

Where does fat digestion begins?
Fat digestion begins in the small intestine, specifically in the duodenum, with the help of bile produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Bile emulsifies fats into smaller droplets, allowing pancreatic enzymes like lipase to break down fats into triglycerides, fatty acids, and glycerol for absorption into the body.
What is the role of the liver in fat metabolism?
the body has a hard time to metabolize fat
How does the frog's liver aid in digestion?
It produces bile to help the body absorb fat
What is the main process by which most products of fat digestion are absorbed by the body?
The main process by which most products of fat digestion are absorbed by the body is through the small intestine. Fat digestion occurs in the small intestine where bile and enzymes break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol. These smaller molecules are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the lining of the small intestine and transported to cells throughout the body for energy or storage.
Does excess heat burn fat?
No. The body's fat is a reserve of energy, and is only tapped into (used) when the body runs out of, and needs, calories from normal food digestion processes to produce energy. To lose fat, your body needs exercise.
Does chemical digestion take place in the liver?
Chemical digestion does not take place in the liver, rather, the liver secretes digestive liquids into the small intestine. The actual digestion takes place in the small intestine.
When your body breaks down food into nutrients what type of digestion takes place?
When your body breaks down food into nutrients, chemical digestion is taking place. In contrast, physical digestion breaks down food mechanically into smaller particles.
Does digestion take place in the colon?
no it doesnt...it takes place in thoer places in the body.
What is anaerobic digestion process?
