Question

in the velli of ileum the absorption of lipids takes place through...........

Answer 1

The given blank can be filled with lacteal.  

A lymphatic capillary, which absorbs dietary lipids in the villi of the small intestine is known as lacteal. The triglycerides are emulsified by bile and are digested by the enzyme lipase, leading to a formation of a mixture of fatty acids. These are then transported to the enterocyte from the intestinal lumen, where they get re-esterified to produce triglyceride.  

The triglyceride then gets converted to chylomicrons by combining with cholesterol ester, phospholipids, and apolipoprotein. These chylomicrons are then mediated into the lacteals, producing a milky component called chyle.  

The lacteals combine to produce bigger lymphatic vessels, which conduct the chyle to the thoracic duct where it is vacated into the bloodstream.  

Answer 2

Answer: In the velli of ileum the absorption of lipids takes place through lacteal.

A lacteal is a lymphatic capillary which functions in absorbing dietary fats which are present in the villi of the small intestine. Triglycerides are here emulsified by the bile and hydrolyzed by the enzyme lipase, which results in a mixture of fatty acids, di- and monoglycerides.
