The monoglycerides and free fatty acids are resyn-thesized into triglycerides inside epithelial cells.
These triglycerides aggregate and are coated with a layer of lipoprotein from the endoplasmic reticulum to form water-soluble chyle microns.
Chylomicrons are extruded through the basal membrane of the cells by exocytosis.
Chylomicrons are unable to cross the basement membrane of capillaries, so instead they enter the lymphatic vessels, the central lacteals.
