===Transport of lipids===
===Transport of lipids===
Chylomicrons transport digested lipids, however these are too large to enter the blood stream directly and thus enter the lymphatic system before being released into the blood stream. Further details can be found [[Small Intestine - Anatomy & Physiology#Triacylglycerol Digestion and Absorption |here]].
