The organ system that helps transport fats from the gastrointestinal tract to the blood in the cardiovascular system is the?

Answer 1

The digestion of fat begins in the mouth where the food you chew is mixed with a small amount of lingual lipase that is found in your saliva. Lingual lipase is a digestive enzyme that breaks fatty acids apart from triglycerides.Once you swallow your food, digestion continues in the stomach. A small amount of lipase is secreted into the stomach, but most fat digestion takes place in the small intestine.Your liver produces bile, which is stored in the gall bladder until it's triggered by eating foods that contain fat. Bile is released into the small intestine where it works like a detergent to emulsify the fats into smaller droplets. This makes it easier for pancreatic lipase to get to the triglycerides.

Answer 2

The lymphatic system is responsible for transporting fats from the gastrointestinal tract to the blood in the cardiovascular system. Special vessels called lacteals within the small intestine absorb dietary fats and transport them through the lymphatic system before they eventually enter the bloodstream.
