Chylomicron

Okay kiddo, when you eat food, your body turns it into fat and sends it to different parts of your body. That fat is called triglycerides.

Now, your body wants to use that fat for energy, but it's too big and heavy to move around in your blood all by itself. So, your body packages it up in a little bubble called a chylomicron.

This chylomicron is like a little bicycle with handles and pedals. It travels through your blood and drops off the fat to all the places in your body that need it for energy. Once all the fat has been dropped off, the chylomicron goes to the liver where it gets broken down and recycled.

So, chylomicron is like a special delivery service for fat in your body. It helps your body get the energy it needs to run around and play all day long!
