Which part of an individual villus forms part of the lymphatic system and absorbs fats from the lumen of the small intestine?

I believe the answer is the lacteals. 
Lacteals are structures that are in the middle of each villi; they are lymphatic capillaries that absorbs dietary fats in the villi of the small intestines. Triglycerides are emulsified by bile and hydrolyzed by the enzyme lipase, resulting in a mixture of fatty acids and monoglycerides. The lacteals merge to form larger lymphatic vessels that transport chyle to the thoracic duct where it is emptied into the blood stream at the subclavian vein.

Water moves via osmosis _________. a) from an area with a low concentration of water to one of higher concentration b) from an a
sp2606 [1]

Answer: c) from an area with a high concentration of water to one of lower concentration

Explanation:

Microscopically, we can interpret osmosis as the passage of water through holes in the membrane. These holes are small enough to allow water to pass through, but not to the ions that carry a layer of hydration, that is, a layer of water molecules around them. Water flows through the membrane in both directions. However, the occurrence of osmosis indicates that the flow is more intense in the direction of the less concentrated medium to the more concentrated. Thus, there is an effective flow of water in one of the senses, called osmosis, from an area with a high concentration of water to one of lower concentration.
