Solution
The correct option is B Lacteals The intestinal absorptive cells or the villi collects the reconstructed triglycerides, combine them with phospholipids and cholesterol which is then released into the lymph in the form of protein coated water soluble fat globules called chylomicrons so as to be transported to blood through the central lacteal of the lymphatic system and which is then distribute throughout the body.
