Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lacteals are specialized lymphatic vessels found within the villi of the small intestine that absorb lipids and transport them into the lymphatic system. Chylomicrons, which are composed of lipids and protein, are transported into the lacteals and eventually enter the bloodstream via the thoracic duct. Thus, lipids are primarily absorbed into the lacteals within the villi after being incorporated into chylomicrons.
