How does butter in your food get digested and absorbed in the body ?

Explanation

(i) Enzyme Lipase located in gastric juice digests fats in small amounts.
Bile salts of bile juice convert fats into small globules by emulsification.
Fats `overset"Lipases"to` Fatty acid+Glycerol
Lipid in duodenum `overset"Lipase"to` Diglyceride `to` Monoglyceride succus entericus.
Di and Monoglycerides `to` Fatty acid + Glycerol .
(ii) Fatty acids and Glycerol being insoluble cannot be absorbed into the blood.
They are first incorporated into small droplets called micelles which move into the intestinal mucosa. They are reformed into very small protein coated fat globules called the chylomicrons which are transported into the lymph vessels (lacteals) in the villi. These lymph vessels ultimately release the absorbed substances into the blood stream.
