Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The function of the lacteal in the small intestine: During the process of digestion, the lacteals absorb large molecules of fats and lipids from the small intestine which gives them a milky-white appearance. They act as a passage to transport the contents in the form of lipoproteins into the lymphatic system.
