Answer:
A lacteal is a lymphatic capillary that absorbs dietary fats in the villi of the small intestine. Triglycerides are emulsified by bile and hydrolyzed by the enzyme lipase, resulting in a mixture of fatty acids, di- and monoglycerides.
The function of the plicae circulares, the villi, and the microvilli is to increase the amount of surface area available for the absorption of nutrients. They collect fluids, electrolytes and proteins from their surrounding interstitial space. Importantly, in addition the lacteals also transport lipids from the interstitium of the intestinal villi into the lymph.
