APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lipid absorption relies on the generation of lipoproteins called chylomicrons that are assembled and secreted by intestinal epithelial cells in the proximal small bowel and subsequently transported into intestine-draining lymphatic vessels5.

Detailed explanation-2: -The products from fat digestion and bile acids form this particle, which moves toward the microvilli to allow the lipids to diffuse into the mucosal cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chylomicrons. Chylomicrons (Fig. 20-14) are formed in the intestinal epithelium to transport long-chain triglycerides to the tissues. Medium-and short-chain fats are transported directly to the liver through the portal circulation without packaging into lipoprotein particles.
