Question

Which of the following plays a key role in the absorption and distribution of fats?
A) Microvilli and villi
B) Segmentation and peristalsis movements
C) Secretin and gastrin
D) Large intestine and rectum
E) Chylomicrons and lacteals

Accepted Answer

Chylomicrons are lipoprotein particles that transport dietary lipids from the intestine to tissues throughout the body. They are absorbed into the lacteals, which are lymphatic vessels in the small intestine. Therefore, chylomicrons and lacteals play a key role in the absorption and distribution of fats.
