Fat taken in the diet is digested in the Small Intestine with the aid of Bile acids and salts which act as emulsifiers and break down the larger fat droplets into smaller ones. These are then acted upon by "lipases" which are secreted in the intestinal digestive. juices. Ultimately the fats are converted into Fatty acids and Glycerol. These are then absorbed in the form of "chylomicrons (small packages of fat and protein)" into the lymphatic channels via the lacteals and poured into the blood.
From here chylomicrons are taken to liver and converted into cholesterol and other forms of fats which are transported to other parts of the body in the form of VLDL, LDL, IDL and HDL.
What else can I help you with?
Where are fats and oils digested?
small intestine
What type of organic molecules require the action of emulsifiers to be digested?
Lipids: fats from animals & oils from plants. Oils are liquid at room temperature.
What pancreatic enzyme digests fats?
Pancreatic ;ipase helps in the digestion of fats to fatty acids and glycerol. Fats are emulsified by the bile produced by the liver producing fat globules. The fat globules are further digested by lipase to form fatty acids and glycerol. Fats are digested at the small intestine.
Fats and oils are classified as what?
lipids

What is healthy oil?
The healthiest oils are oils that have polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. The healthiest oils are oils packed with saturated fats.
What do oils and fats dissolve in?
Oils and fats dissolve in other fats and oils, as they are non-polar molecules. They do not dissolve in water, which is a polar molecule.
What substances are not digested and excreted from our bodies through sweating?
Substances that are not digested and excreted through sweating include undigested food particles, most complex carbohydrates, and proteins, as these are primarily processed in the digestive system. Additionally, fats and oils are not expelled through sweat; instead, they are broken down and absorbed by the body or stored for energy. Sweat mainly consists of water, electrolytes, and trace amounts of other substances like urea and lactate, which are byproducts of metabolism.
Commonly called fats and oils?

Which fats are found in fish oils and plant oils and are good for the body?
