Q
Describe how the products of lipid digestion in the lumen enter the lymphatic system
A
lipids are broken down into glycerol fatty acids and monoglycerides
these associate with bile salts forming micelles diffuse into epithelial cells
Inside the epithelial cell, products are converted back into triglycerides by the endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus then combine the triglycerides with proteins and cholesterol to form chylomicrons then packaged into vesicles and released into the lymphatic system via exocytosis.
