Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and long-chain fatty acids are absorbed into the lymphatic system because they are not directly absorbed into the bloodstream due to their size and solubility. They are transported in the form of chylomicrons through the lymphatic system and eventually enter the bloodstream via the thoracic duct, which drains into the left subclavian vein.
