Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lymph capillaries in the small intestine that absorb fats are called lacteals. Chyle refers to the milky white lymph fluid that is composed of fatty acids and absorbed from the intestines into the lacteals. Cisterna chyli is a lymphatic sac located at the lower end of the thoracic duct where it empties into the venous system. Lymphatic trunks are larger lymphatic vessels that are formed by the convergence of smaller lymphatic vessels.
