Answer» Answer: Explanation: There are blood CAPILLARIES and special lymph capillaries, called lacteals, in the center of each villus. The blood capillaries absorb most nutrients, but the fats and fat-soluble VITAMINS are ABSORBED by the lacteals. The lymph in the lacteals has a MILKY appearance due to its HIGH fat content and is called chyle. |
