Each of the villi is lined with capillaries and with a lacteal which absorb?

In the small intestine most food is digested. The digestive system's organs work to make the food you eat soluble, so your body can absorb the energy (glucose). Once the churned up food is in the small intestine which is covered in villus (like a brush) the microvilli on the villus, to increase the surface area further, absorb all of the soluble glucose. Inside of the villus are capillaries that absorb most of the churned up food. But fatty acids called LIPID cannot be absorbed, so the lacteal running though the middle of the villus absorbs the fatty acids.
:) hope that helped

What structure in villi absorbs and transports fats?
Lacteal absorbs fatty acids. Glycerol is absorbed by both , blood capillaries and lacteal .
Why are the lungs and the small intestines lined by a very large number of capillaries?
the small intestine is lined with villi
What do blood capillaries absorb?
Capillaries in Villi absorb all other nutrients except fat.
What does the villi absorb nutrients from the small intestine to?
Most nutrients are absorbed directly into the blood but fats are taken into the lacteal (part of the lymphatic system)
How does villi help nutrients move into the blood?
by covering alot of surface area the capillaries help absorb nutrients and transfer them into the blood
What body system is the lacteal found?
The lacteal is found in the small intestine. It serves the purpose of absorbing fats from the gut into the bloodstream.
What do lacteal of the villi do?
In the small intestine most food is digested. The digestive system's organs work to make the food you eat soluble, so your body can absorb the energy (glucose). Once the churned up food is in the small intestine which is covered in villus (like a brush) the microvilli on the villus, to increase the surface area further, absorb all of the soluble glucose. Inside of the villus are capillaries that absorb most of the churned up food. But fatty acids called LIPID cannot be absorbed, so the lacteal running though the middle of the villus absorbs the fatty acids.:) hope that helped?
What is the role of capillaries in villi?
Capillary in the villi are used to absorb the digested food and transport the food the the destination cell.
What are the walls of the small intestine covered with?
The lining is plicae circulares, and the raised finger-like parts of the lining are called villi. Villi's adsorb carbohydrates through their membranes and capillaries within carry the nutrients off to the rest of your body.
What sorts or substances pass into the lacteal inside the villi?
Lacteals are lymphatic vessels that absorb mostly fats and other nutrients from the small intestine. It closely resembles blood plasma in composition but has a lower percentage of protein and is isotonic.
What structure enables the small intestine to absorb large amounts of nutrients?
villi
The intestinal villi contain capillaries and lacteals important chemical digestion?
Is it true that intestinal villi contains capillaries and lacteals important for chemical digestion?
