Answer» Correct Answer - D Fatty acids and glycerol being insoluble, cannot be absorbed into the blood. They are first incorporated into small droplets called micelles which move into the intestinal mucosa. They are re-formed into very small protein coated fat globules called the chylomicrons (triglycerides). which are transported into the lymph vessels (lacte- als) in the villi. These lymph vessels ultimately release the absorbed substances into the blood stream. |
