Digestion of fat takes place in the small intestine. Fat reaches the small intestine in the form of large globules.

The liver releases bile juice which emulsifies the fat i.e. it breaks down the large globules into smaller globules thus increasing the are on which pancreatic juice called lipase acts and breaks down the globules into molecules.

The small intestine then releases juices which convert these fat molecules into fatty acids and glycerol which can be used by the body.
