Question

From the cells of intestinal villi, chylomicrons are transported into the:

• A. Blood capillaries
• B. Lacteals
• C. Interstitial fluid
• D. Veins

Hint:

Lacteals transport chylomicrons into the lymphatic system, which eventually drains into the bloodstream.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Chylomicrons, which are fat droplets absorbed in the small intestine, are transported via the lacteals, which are specialized lymphatic vessels located in the villi of the intestine.
- Blood capillaries are involved in the absorption of other nutrients like glucose and amino acids but not chylomicrons.
- Interstitial fluid and veins are not directly involved in transporting chylomicrons from the intestinal villi.
