<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.
