Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Lacteals
Concept: Lymphatic drainage in the gastrointestinal system.

Solution: Lacteals are blind-ended lymphatic capillaries residing in the center of intestinal villi. They absorb dietary fats packaged as chylomicrons into lymph fluid (chyle).

Why other options are incorrect:
  • Option B: Epithelial ducts are non-lymphatic lining channels.

  • Option C: Adenoids are pharyngeal lymphoid tonsilar tissues.

  • Option D: Afferent lymph vessels carry lymph into lymph nodes throughout the body, but are not the specific villus capillary vessels.
