Chylomicrons are large lipoprotein particles not directly soluble in blood serum (having a diameter of 75 to 1,200nm).They are created by the absorptive cells of the small intestine. Chylomicrons transport exogenous lipids to liver, adipose, cardiac and skeletal tissue where they are broken down by lipoprotein lipase. The chylomicrons are released by exocytosis from enterocytes into lacteals, lymphatic vessels originating in the villi of the small intestine, and are then secreted into the bloodstream at the thoracic duct's connection with the left subclavian vein.

The chylomicrons are excreted into the lymph because that's where the cells that excrete chylomicrons border.
