Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option D: Lacteal
Concept:

Dietary fats are too large and hydrophobic to directly enter the microscopic blood capillaries of the digestive tract.

Formula:

None

Solution:

  • Within the center of each intestinal villus lies a specialized, blind-ended lymphatic capillary.


  • This vessel is called a lacteal.


  • Lacteals absorb packaged dietary fats (chylomicrons) to transport them through the lymphatic system before they are dumped into the bloodstream.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Epithelium: The cellular lining of the villi.


  • Afferent lymph vessel: Carries lymph towards a lymph node, not the specific fat-absorbing vessel in a villus.
