Given below are two statements:Statement I: Fatty acids and glycerols cannot be absorbed into blood.Statement II: Specialized lymphatic capillaries called lacteals carry chylomicrons into lymphatic vessels and ultimately into the blood.In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. A
    Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  2. B
    Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  3. C
    Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  4. D
    Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Statement I is correct: Fatty acids and glycerol are insoluble in water and cannot be directly absorbed into the intestinal blood capillaries.Statement II is correct: They are first incorporated into micelles, then re-formed into chylomicrons (protein-coated fat globules) which enter the lacteals (lymph vessels) in the villi. These vessels eventually release the absorbed fats into the bloodstream.
