What is the function of chylomicrons?
Chylomicrons and large lipoprotein particles that consist of triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol and proteins. Their function is to transport dietary lipids from the intestinal epithelial cells to the liver or other locations around the body.Chylomicrons transport fats and cholesterol from the intestine into the liver, then into the bloodstream
Chylomicrons are composed of glycerides and?
Chylomicrons are composed of triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol, and proteins known as apolipoproteins. They are produced in the intestine to transport dietary fats (lipids) to various tissues in the body.
What transport carriers enable fat and cholesterol to travel through the blood and lymph?
chylomicrons pg 147 :)
In the small intestines fatty acids cholesterol and glycerides combine in epithelial cells to form complex structures are called?
chylomicrons
Does cholesterol float free in the bloodstream?
No, cholesterol does not float freely in the bloodstream. It is transported in the blood attached to proteins called lipoproteins, such as LDL and HDL. These lipoproteins help transport cholesterol to cells throughout the body.
What is the largest lipoprotein?
The largest lipoprotein is chylomicrons, which are responsible for transporting dietary triglycerides from the intestine to various tissues in the body. They are mainly composed of triglycerides, cholesterol, and proteins.
What else other than the blood carries nutrients throughout the body?
The lacteals, or lymph vessels do. The blood absorbs amino acids and sugars from the small intestine, while lacteals absorb triglycerides (fat), cholesterol, and the fat-soluble vitamins. These three nutrients are built up into chylomicrons in the epithelium of the small intestine, and it is these chylomicrons that are taken up by the lacteal.
How do villi help the lymphatic system?
Lacteals collect fats by absorbing chylomicrons (consisting of 90% triglycerides, 5% cholesterol, 4% phospholipids, 1% protein) in the small intestines and transports them to cardiovascular circulation. Chylomicrons travel through the lymphatic system via the thoracic duct to the bloodstream.

Which juice from your liver helps absorb fat in your bloodstream?
Bile comes from your liver and is used to break down fats in the intestine. They make chylomicrons to deliver fat from the intesintes to the liver, low density lipoproteins (LDL, a type of cholesterol) to deliver it to tissues, and high density lipoproteins (HDL, a type of cholesterol) to bring it back to the liver.
