- Glucose and amino acids → absorbed by diffusion into blood capillaries of the villi
- glucose and amino acids → absorbed by active transport into blood capillaries of the villi. This happens when there is a lower concentration of these digested food substances in the lumen of the small intestine than in the blood capillaries.
- Glycerol and fatty acids → diffuse into the epithelium. Here they combine to form minute fat globules that enter the lacteals.
