Chylomicrons Contain Triglycerides Cholesterol Molecules and Other Lipids

A lipid transport diagram focusing on chylomicrons shows how dietary fats move through the body after digestion. Large spherical particles are illustrated carrying triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids, and fat-soluble vitamins within their core and surface. The diagram traces their formation in intestinal cells, entry into the lymphatic system, and eventual release into the bloodstream. Enzymes such as lipoprotein lipase are often labeled to show how triglycerides are broken down and delivered to tissues like muscle and adipose tissue. By showing structure and movement together, the image explains how fats are transported efficiently despite being insoluble in water and why chylomicrons are essential after a fat-rich meal.
