so i was doing a review of fatty acids and there is something i just want to make sure i understand. so when we eat a fatty meal i get that it gets transported in a cylomicron to the liver, and heart, etc. however whats confusing me is that i know that the fatty acids themselves enter the cells in the liver for example via transport protein, but what im missing in terms of my understanding is, at which point in fatty acid transport is the triglyceride broken down into gylercol and 3 fas? i know that fat is hydrolyzed to release the fas but does that occur within the chylomicron?

nvm i figured it out
