How are fats digested in our bodies? Where does this process take place?

Explanation

Fats are digested in the small intestine in our body. The liver secretes an alkaline liquid called bile into small intestine. The salts present in bile emulsify (or break) large globules of fat present in our food into smaller globules making it easy for the enzymes to act on them and digest them. Pancreas secretes pancreatic juice into small intestine which also contains an enzyme called 'lipase'. The enzyme lipase break down the emulsified fat further. And finally, the enzymes present in intestinal juice brings about the complete digestion of fats by converting them into fatty acids and glycerol.
