What are the specialized lymphatic vessels that absorb fatty acids from the intestines called?

Veins
Arterioles
Capillaries
Lacteals

The correct answer is: Lacteals

Veins, arterioles, and capillaries are all types of blood vessels, which do not directly absorb fatty acids from the small intestines. Lacteals, on the other hand, are specialized lymphatic vessels located in the lining of the small intestine that absorb fatty acids and other nutrients from the digestive system. This absorption is essential for the transport and delivery of these nutrients to the rest of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is D lacteals.
