to begin the digestion of proteins

The salivary glands in the mouth secrete enzymes in saliva that begin chemical digestion.
Digestion for all mammals begins in the mouth with amylase found in the saliva.

lipids are commonly called fats because lipids can accumulate anywhere including your skin or your arteries. lipid digestion usually occures in the stomach or in the intestines. But to much lipids can cause obesity.
Chemical digestion of lipids primarily occurs in the small intestine. Here, bile salts from the liver emulsify fats, breaking them down into smaller droplets, which enhances their accessibility to digestive enzymes. The pancreatic enzyme lipase then breaks down these emulsified fats into fatty acids and glycerol for absorption. This process is crucial for the efficient digestion and absorption of dietary lipids.
