Fats are absorbed by entering the villi and then breaking down into a chemical compound or ester called chylo microns which are made fron lipoproteins(fats and proteins) and tryglicerides(compound of fatty acids and a glycerol molecule)

Lacteals are small lymphatic vessels located in the lining of the small intestine. They absorb dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the digestive system and transport them through the lymphatic system to the bloodstream.
What is located in the large intestine?
The large intestine, also known as the colon, is not located in the stomach but is connected to the stomach and small intestine. It primarily absorbs water and electrolytes from undigested food, forms and stores feces, and plays a role in maintaining the balance of gut bacteria.
The small intestine is an organ in the digestive system located between the stomach and the large intestine. Its primary function is to absorb nutrients from the digested food, such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, and transfer them into the bloodstream for distribution to the rest of the body.
The sphincter muscle, or ileocecal valve is located at the junction of the small and large intestine.
The lacteals are part of the lymphatic system. They are specialized lymphatic vessels located in the small intestine that are responsible for absorbing dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins into the lymphatic system.
The small intestine is part of the digestive system. It connects the stomach with the large intestine. It is located within the abdominal cavity. Hope this helps.
The cecum is located in the first part of the large intestine. This serves as a connection between the ileum to the ascending colon and a part of the intestine that moves the waste to be excreted.
Ileocecal valve
located in the wall of the distal portion of the small intestine.
The cecum is the widest division of the large intestine. It is located at the beginning of the large intestine, where the small intestine meets the large intestine.
