Here is where I learned about lacteals role in transporting  products of digestion.

Objective61: State the Chemical Forms in Which the Major Food Classes are Absorbed

Pages 784-785 explain chemical digestion and absorption. I learned these classes are carbohydrates, protein, fat, and nucleic acid. The color coded chart helped me to see the differences in where they are absorbed and how.

Objective62: Describe External and Internal Gross Renal System Anatomy

This website describes the internal renal anatomy while this one describes the External anatomy. Just like I learned most of the anatomy in this class, I labeled these diagrams several times until I became proficient at it.
