Which of the following is NOT true of digestion and absorption of fats? Fats are absorbed into the lymphatic system rather than the circulatory system. The subunits of fats move into the intestinal epithelial cells through cotransport proteins. Digestion of fats in the small intestine requires bile salts to emulsify large fat droplets into small fat droplets. Pancreatic lipase digests triglycerides down to their subunits. Triglycerides are reassembled from their subunits inside intestinal epithelial cells.
