Special lymphatic vessels, called lacteals, absorb dietary that are not absorbed by the blood capillaries.

This question lacks options, options are:

A. water

B. glucose

C. vitamins

D. amino acids

E. lipids

The correct answer is E.

Explanation:

Lipids are a heterogeneous group of organic compounds divided into fats or oils, phospholipids and cholesterol esters. The lymphatic vessels are responsible for the transport of lipids and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), which are absorbed through the digestive tract, that is, they act as capturers of fats and excess fluids from the human body, always present in the blood vessels. They do not carry blood, but lymph, a clear liquid. They play an important role in the transport of fats, in the recovery of fluids that escape from the blood capillaries and in the fight against infections. In the small intestine, specialized lymphatic capillaries transport lipids from the diet to the lymphatic vessels and, ultimately, to the blood. The presence of these lipids makes the lymph drained through the small intestine appear creamy white.
