The lacteal is a component of the lymphatic system. It is a specialized lymphatic vessel in the small intestine responsible for absorbing dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins.
Fats that are unable to be transported by the bloodstream are absorbed by the lacteals. They are lymphatic vessels.
The villi in the small intestine are typically a pinkish color due to the presence of blood vessels.
These are called villi. They are found in the small intestine and serve to increase the surface area for nutrient absorption through the intestinal walls into the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
Villi are finger-like projections in the small intestine that increase its surface area for better absorption of nutrients from food. They contain blood vessels and lymph vessels to transport nutrients to the rest of the body.

Fats that are unable to be transported by the bloodstream are absorbed by the lacteals. They are lymphatic vessels.
Lacteals are lymphatic vessels found in small intestinal villi. While other nutrients such as amino acids and saccharides are absorbed into the blood stream, lacteals and the lymphatic system are used to absorb fats.
The villi in the small intestine are typically a pinkish color due to the presence of blood vessels.
Lacteals are lymphatic vessels that absorb mostly fats and other nutrients from the small intestine. It closely resembles blood plasma in composition but has a lower percentage of protein and is isotonic.
Small Intestine.
The job of the villi is to increase the surface area of the small intestine, which allows for more efficient absorption of nutrients from food during digestion. They are small, finger-like projections that line the inside of the small intestine and contain blood vessels and lymphatic vessels to transport absorbed nutrients.
the villi are small finger-like creases on the small and large intestines. they are used to increase the area for absorption.
Villi increase the surface area for nutrient absorption in the small intestine. They are covered in microvilli that further enhance nutrient absorption by increasing the surface area. Villi contain blood vessels and lymphatic vessels to transport absorbed nutrients. They have a high concentration of enzymes to facilitate the breakdown of nutrients. Villi protect the intestine by secreting mucus and immunoglobulins.
Transports absorbed fats to lymphatic system.
When your food is being digested and it is in your small intestines and the villi sucks up the nutrients it gives the nutrients to blood vessels which take it to your cells. Small intestines and villi are parts of digestive system. Blood vessels and cells are part of circulatory system.
The lymph vessels or the blood vessels of the digestive absorb the digested food through the tiny projections in the small intestine called villi.
