where and how lipids are digested
Most lipids that you consume in your diet are fats. Some digestion occurs in your mouth and the stomach, but most takes place in the small intestine. Bile is produced by your liver, stored and released in your gall bladder and emulsifies fat globules into smaller droplets.
1 Chylomicrons are formed in the intestinal cells and carry lipids from the digestive tract into circulation. 2  Short-and medium-fatty chains can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream from the intestinal microvillus because they are water-soluble.
