Time to Take Notes

As I am away at the blood drive today (just downstairs), you will complete the notes on the following presentation, answering the questions as you go along.

Yes! It's a grade -- and just because the teacher is away, does not mean you get to play :)

Reorder

Arrange the following steps in the correct order for fat transport from digestion to delivery to tissues:

• Fats are broken down in the small intestine

• Fats are absorbed by enterocytes

• Chylomicrons enter lacteals

• Lymph carrying chylomicrons empties into the bloodstream

• Chylomicrons release fats to muscle and adipose tissue.
