wat is the process of of triglyceride absorption after digestion, from the small intestine?

Q.

A. Triglycerides are broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol by pancreatic lipase. They then enter the enterocytes in the small intestine where they are re-esterified into triglycerides and packaged into chylomicrons (which are composed of proteins, phospholipids, triglycerides, etc). The chylomicrons enter the lymphatic system via the lacteal. The chylomicrons are broken down in the lymph vessels by lipoprotein lipase and the fats are taken up by tissues that need it.
