The lymphatic system carries fats (lipids), specifically fats and fat‑soluble vitamins , to the bloodstream.

Quick Scoop

  • After you eat, most carbohydrates and proteins go directly into the blood through capillaries in the intestinal villi.
  • Dietary fats, however, are packaged into chylomicrons and absorbed into special lymphatic capillaries called lacteals in the small intestine.
  • From there, these fats (and fat‑soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K) travel through the lymphatic vessels and eventually enter the bloodstream via the thoracic duct and subclavian vein.

So if the question lists options like:

  • Proteins
  • Carbohydrates
  • Fats
  • Vitamins

…the best answer is: Fats (dietary lipids), including fat‑soluble vitamins.
