Most digestion of fats occurs in the intestine. Fat is first emulsified by bile. It becomes soluble in water, and then is easily broken down by pancreatic and intestinal lipase.

The end products of fat digestion are:

fatty acids, glycerol, phospholipids, cholesterol, and monoglycerides

On the surface of the lining of the small intestine, these substances are loosely combined into micelles, which pass into the cells of the lining. Inside these cells, the micelles are repackaged into chylomicrons which are absorbed into the lymph system. Chylomicrons are carried via lymph to the heart and are then added into general circulation (blood.)
