Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Most fats and fatty acids are actually absorbed in the lymphatic system first before being transported into the blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fatty acids and glycerol are insoluble and hence cannot be directly absorbed into the blood. They first form small droplets called micelles which move into the intestinal mucosa. Here, they are coated with protein to form chylomicrons which are then transported into the lymph vessels (lacteals) in the villi.
