Where in the body are fats and monoglycerides absorbed?

Fats and monoglycerides are primarily absorbed in the small intestine, specifically in the jejunum. After being emulsified by bile salts and broken down by pancreatic lipases, they form micelles that facilitate their absorption through the intestinal epithelial cells. Once inside these cells, they are reassembled into triglycerides and packaged into chylomicrons for transport into the lymphatic system before entering the bloodstream.
