Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Nearly all dietary lipid is absorbed by the enterocytes of the small intestine, packaged in triglyceride-carrying particles known as chylomicrons, and transported from the intestine to the blood stream via the lymphatic system [3].
Detailed explanation-2: -Fats are absorbed through the wall of the villi and enter the lacteal, tiny lymph vessels called lymph capillaries, where they form part of a fluid called chyle, a milky fluid consisting of lymph, fats, and free fatty acids. Lymphatic vessels then transport these fats into the bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-3: -A lacteal is a lymphatic capillary that absorbs dietary fats in the villi of the small intestine.
