Fats. Fat molecules are a rich source of energy for the body. The first step in digestion of a fat such as butter is to dissolve it into the watery content of the intestinal cavity. The bile acids produced by the liver act as natural detergents to dissolve fat in water and allow the enzymes to break the large fat molecules into smaller molecules, some of which are fatty acids and cholesterol. The bile acids combine with the fatty acids and cholesterol and help these molecules to move into the cells of the mucosa. In these cells the small molecules are formed back into large molecules, most of which pass into vessels (called lymphatics) near the intestine. These small vessels carry the reformed fat to the veins of the chest, and the blood carries the fat to storage depots in different parts of the body.

The digestive system prepares food for the bloodstream. The digestive system absorbs food particles and nutrients pass through this system to the bloodstream.
The digestive system is responsible for breaking down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body. This process occurs in the stomach and intestines, where nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream for use by the body.
The esophagus is part of the digestive system. It is a muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach and is responsible for transporting food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach for digestion.
Digestion
lipase helps to absorbs fat in your bloodstream
bile
The small intestine. It has villi that absorb nutrients and then transport them to the bloodstream.
The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance in the body by draining excess fluid from tissues back into the bloodstream. It also plays a key role in the immune system by transporting white blood cells and antibodies to fight infections. Additionally, the lymphatic system absorbs fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the digestive system and transports them to the bloodstream.
The digestive system is responsible for breaking down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by cells through the process of digestion. Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine and transported to cells throughout the body for energy, growth, and repair.
Large intestine
the small intestine
The esophagus is part of the digestive system. It is a muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach and is responsible for transporting food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach through a series of coordinated muscle contractions.
