i am confuse regarding detailed mechanism of transport of chylomicrons from enterocytes to lymph than to blood, or enterocytes to blood than to lymph system?
If they go from blood vessels to lymph system than what is the mechanism for that of they just pass through passive diffusion.
After production in the enterocytes the chylomicrons appears first in the lymph system and are transported via the thoracic duct into the junction of the left subclavian vein and left jugular vein. By this way they doesn´t enter the liver directly but are transported into the periphery to provide muscle and adipose cells with triglycerides.
The movement of chylomicrons is not fully understood. if it is in lamina propria, then the movement of chylomicrons is through the process of diffusion and facilitated by interstitial hydration.
