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.
What else can I help you with?
How do the villi help with the passage of food into the circulatory system?
They absorb fats and move them into the lymphatic system.
What is the role of lymphatic fluid within the villi of the intestine?
Transports absorbed fats to lymphatic system.
What body system is the lacteal found?

How does bile help the digestion of milk?

What is a finger shaped projection in the digestive system that helps absorb food in to the blood stream?
The finger-shaped projections in the digestive system that help absorb food into the bloodstream are called villi. They are found in the small intestine and increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients from digested food. Villi have specialized cells that facilitate the absorption of nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into the blood or lymphatic system.
What type of cell is housed by the lymphatic system to help the body's system?
macrophage
What does lacteals do?
