Question
Fats absorbed as fatty acids and glycerol are transported via lacteals into which system?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Fats are absorbed into lacteals (lymphatic capillaries) and transported through the lymphatic system. They enter the bloodstream via the thoracic duct, bypassing the liver initially. This allows for efficient distribution of lipids.
Hint
These water-insoluble nutrients travel through a different system than water-soluble nutrients.
