The capillaries of the villus are connected with the veins which contributeto the portal vein, hence carry blood to the liver. The lacteals of the villuscontribute to the mesenteric lacteal system, hence the chyle and lymph passthrough the mesenteric glands and the portal duct to the subclavian veinin the neck. There are thus two routes by which absorbed foods may reachthe general circulation. These paths can be independently isolated; and a ABSORPTION OF PROTEIDS FROM THE INTESTINES 365 study of the composition of their discharge during active absorption con-tributes to our knowledge of the course taken by the different absorptionproducts.
