Lymphatic System's Role in Fat Absorption & Circulation

The lymphatic system carries products of fat digestion to the bloodstream. After fat is digested in the small intestine, it is absorbed into the lymphatic system in the form of chylomicrons. Chylomicrons are small particles that contain fat, cholesterol, and other lipids. They are transported through the lymphatic system to the bloodstream, where they can be used as energy or stored for later use.
