Miguel Rhodes · Answer 1

Digestion of certain fats begins in the mouth, where short chain lipids are broken down into diglycerides by lingual lipase. Fat present in the small intestine stimulates the release of lipase from the pancreas, and bile from the liver, enabling the breakdown of fats into fatty acids.
