Video: Lipids Digestion and Absorption. Lipids, or fats, are digested and absorbed in the small intestine. In this lesson you will learn how bile salts emulsify fat so pancreatic lipase can digest it. You will also learn how fats first enter lymphatic capillaries, called lacteals, before entering your blood circulation.
Digested fats are not very soluble. Bile salts surround fats to form micelles, as shown in Figure 7, that can pass into the epithelial cells. The bile salts return to the lumen to repeat the process. Fat digestion is usually completed by the time the food reaches the ileum (lower third) of the small intestine.
