the enzyme that is secreted is lipase.

lipase is secreted in the pancreas where it is moved into the duodenum through the common bile duct. lipase is also secreted by the intestinal walls of the small intestine.there are funger like projections called villi. between 2 villi there are glandular pits where the succus entericus is secreted.lipase is in the succus entericus along with other enzymes.

lipase converts fats into fatty acids and glycerol.

How is the digetive system adapted to digest fats?

The digestive system is adapted to digest fats through the action of bile and pancreatic enzymes. Bile, produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, emulsifies fats, breaking them into smaller droplets to increase the surface area for enzyme action. The pancreas then secretes lipases, which are enzymes that specifically break down triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. This efficient process allows fats to be absorbed effectively in the small intestine.
