Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When dietary fats are broken down, their breakdown products (fatty acids and glycerol) are resynthesized into triglycerides by intestinal cells. These triglycerides then combine with other lipids and proteins to form chylomicrons, which are transported into lacteals (lymphatic vessels) and eventually enter the bloodstream.
