👉 Getting fluid, also known as chylomicrons, is a process in which dietary fats, primarily triglycerides and fat-soluble vitamins, are transported from the digestive system to various tissues in the body. After being emulsified by bile salts in the small intestine, these fats are absorbed by intestinal cells (enterocytes) and packaged into chylomicrons. These lipoprotein particles are then released into the lymphatic system, bypassing the liver initially, and eventually enter the bloodstream through the thoracic duct. Once in circulation, chylomicrons transport these fats to tissues like adipose tissue and muscle for storage or utilization. This process is crucial for delivering essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins to cells throughout the body, ensuring proper physiological functioning.
