Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.
Lacteals absorb digested fat in the form of chylomicrons.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

A lacteal is a lymphatic capillary that absorbs dietary fats in the villi of the small intestine. Triglycerides are emulsified by bile and hydrolyzed by the enzyme lipase, resulting in a mixture of fatty acids and monoglycerides. These chylomicrons then pass into the lacteals, forming a milky substance known as chyle.

So, the correct option is 'True'.
