Question

absorb fats from the intestine and are found in the microvilli.

• A. Lacteals
• B. Veins
• C. Capillaries
• D. Artery

Answer 1

The correct option is A Lacteals

Lacteals are the lymphatic vessels present in the microvilli which are responsible for the absorption of fat from the intestine. In the lipid absorption, the dietary lipids are digested in the lumen of the intestine. Then, the lipids are packaged into chylomicra in the enterocytes. The chylomicra is exocytosed into the interstitium of the villus. From here, they enter lacteals. Later, these fats are dumped into the blood stream from the lymphatic vessels.
