Jejunum or ileum

The villi of the jejunum are quite long and frequently appear club-shaped.  Lacteals, blind-ended lymphatic capillaries located in the lamina propria of villi, are present throughout the small intestine and transport absorbed lipids.  The lacteals in this image are abnormally distended.  100x
