PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -There are blood capillaries and special lymph capillaries, called lacteals, in the center of each villus . The blood capillaries absorb most nutrients, but the fats and fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed by the lacteals. The lymph in the lacteals has a milky appearance due to its high fat content and is called chyle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lacteals are the lymph capillaries which absorb fats and lipids and are found in the small intestine. The food we take contains proteins, carbohydrates, fats and other nutrients. All the nutrients are absorbed by blood capillaries except fats.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lacteals are milky lymphatic vessels of small intestine that convey the milky chyle from the intestine through the mesenteric glands to the thoracic duct. They absorb the products of fat digestion.
