Dietary Fats are Absorbed by Lacteals Found in the Haustra

Question

Dietary fats are absorbed by lacteals found in the haustra of the large intestine.

Accepted Answer

Dietary fats are actually absorbed in the small intestine, not the large intestine. The lacteals are lymphatic vessels that assist in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and other lipids in the small intestine, not the haustra of the large intestine.
