Question

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

Answer 1

In the small intestine, fats exist as large globules. The small intestine receives secretions from the liver (bile juice) and pancreas (pancreatic juice). Bile salts from the liver break down these large fat globules into smaller ones, facilitating action by pancreatic enzymes. This process, known as emulsification of fats, occurs within the small intestine.
