<strong>Lymphatic</strong> System and Chyle<br />
Chyle is composed of fat globules that<br />
give it a milky appearance<br />
• Has a thin protein coating<br />
• Is a micron or less in size—there are<br />
about 25,000 microns to an inch<br />
After a meal it takes two to three hours<br />
for fat to be absorbed from the small<br />
intestine and travel through ever larger<br />
lymph channels.
