Lacteals are specialized capillaries found in the small intestine that absorb dietary fat. Fats enter the lacteal as lipoprotein complexes called chylomicrons, which are then transported via lymphatic vessels to the bloodstream. Trace the pathway of a chylomicron from the point at which it enters a lacteal until it reaches a cell in the rectus femoris muscle.
