Lipid Digestion & Absorption into the Lymphatic System

The video explains the digestion and absorption of fats, amino acids, and sugars. It details the role of the gallbladder in storing and releasing bile for fat emulsification. Amino acids and sugars are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, while fatty acids undergo a complex process involving chylomicron formation and transport through the lymphatic system. Chylomicrons deliver fatty acids to peripheral tissues before reaching the liver. The video concludes with a comparison of lipid absorption to that of amino acids and sugars.
