In humans, fats are primarily absorbed in the small intestine. After dietary fats are emulsified by bile salts, they are broken down by pancreatic lipases into free fatty acids and monoglycerides. These products then enter the intestinal cells (enterocytes) through diffusion and are reassembled into triglycerides, which are packaged into chylomicrons for transport into the lymphatic system and eventually the bloodstream.
