In England in around 1300, various different hundreds (centem in Medieval Latin) were defined. The Weights and Measures Act of 1835 formally established the present imperial hundredweight of 112 lb.
A lacteal is a lymphatic capillary that absorbs dietary fats in the villi of the small intestine.Triglycerides are emulsified by bile and hydrolyzed by the enzyme lipase, resulting in a mixture of fatty acids and monoglycerides.These then pass from the intestinal lumen into the enterocyte, where they are re-esterified to form triacylglycerol.riglycerides are emulsified by bile and hydrolyzed by the enzyme lipase, resulting in a mixture of fatty acids and monoglycerides.

A. Lacteals (see digestive system). At the end of this unit you are expected to be able to: - state the three major functions of the lymphatic system. - list the structures the lymph passes through from the lymphatic capillaries to the subclavian veins. - compare the right lymphatic duct and thoracic duct.- explain how the lymphatic vessels are able to remove fluid from the tissues. - explain how the lymphatic system is able to effect blood volume and blood pressure. - describe the forces which propel lymph forward through the lymph vessels.- describe the structure of a lymph node and explain how this structure fits the immune role of the lymph node..
