Absorption of Fat in Monogastric animals:

• The end products of fats are fatty acids, glycerol, and monoglycerides.
• Among these glycerol is soluble in water while fatty acids and monoglycerides are insoluble in water.
• In the intestine, the fatty acids, monoglycerides, and bile salts aggregate to form mixed micelles which are soluble in water.
• The hydrophobic fatty acids are monoglycerides from the core while hydrophilic bile salt is from the periphery of mixed miceles.
• These diffuses in the cell of villi where fatty acids and monoglycerides combine to form triglycerides and become enveloped by a layer of italics protein called chylamycromes.
• These enter into lacteal which carry it towards the hepatic portal system In the thoracic region.
• This system opens in the liver where bile salts are separated and used again to form the bile and triglycerides are transplanted to different body ttissues
