The digested products of fats are insoluble in water and hence cannot be absorbed into the blood. The aggregates of these compounds are converted into small water-soluble droplets called micelles. These micelles are further converted in the intestinal mucosal cells into smaller protein-coated particles called chylomicrons. These particles are absorbed into a special set of lymph capillaries called lacteal, which helps in absorption of digested fats.
