Fatty (hydrophobic) materials get absorbed across the intestinal epithelium and will first enter the . . .
   
lymphatic vessels (lacteals)
   
blood vessels
   
muscularis externa
   
None of the above

lymphatic vessels (lacteals)
   
blood vessels

It's either the first or the second. Try the first one, but I'm only 50% sure.

Nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine through enterocytes (not between them b/c of their tight junctions); & then are carried to the liver via hepatic portal vein to be processed (the nutrients can be transported to the liver via either blood or lympathic vessels I THINK..not sure though).

I believe the correct answer is blood vessels
