They draw from the small intestines, which is where blood flows to obtain nutrition from digested food . They travel through the blood to reach the cells(the nutritions ), at which point they have sustained energy from such an event .

Skin produces associated structures such as sudoriferous (sweat) glands and sebaceous (oil) glands. It also produces fingernails, hair, and sensory receptors that enable humans to feel pressure, temperature, and pain.

Both groups of sudoriferous glands (sweat glands) are in most of the body: eccrine glands are coiled ducts deep in the skin that connect to the surface; apocrine glands are in armpits, areolae of nipples, and the genital region. Eccrine glands secrete sweat, a mixture of 99 percent water and 1 percent salts and fats. In warm conditions with low humidity, perspiration (secretion of sweat) and evaporation cool the body.

How do your bodies deliver nutrients into the blood?

Your body delivers nutrients into the blood through the food that you eat. As food is broken down the nutrients are absorbed into the blood stream and are then carried to tissues and organs throughout the body.


Is the nutrients travel through the deoxygenated blood to reach the body cell?

Nutrients and oxygen diffuse through the capillaries, due to diffusion.


When does the exchange of nutrients and waste materials?

I'm assuming you mean 'where' in the body, as opposed to 'when'. In terms of when, it happens all the time! The exchange of nutrients from food mainly happens in the intestine, though other nutrients can be absorbed elsewhere in the body sometimes. These enter your blood stream here and travel to the relevant area of your body using the circulation. Waste will enter your blood stream as well but be filtered out of your blood by your kidneys and is passed out of the body as urine.


How does glucose normally enter the blood?

Like most nutrients, glucose sugar is absorbed into the blood stream through the walls of the small intestine from the food one eats.


How do digested nutrients get in the blood stream?

After food get digested, there are enzymes that break down larger molecules such as proteins and carbohydrates into smaller molecules before it can pass into the blood stream. Mainly in the small intestine, nutrients pass into the blood stream. Depending on the type of "nutrient" that get passed through, some just diffuse through by difference in concentration gradient. Some require active pumps in the lining of the small intestine to pump the "nutrient" into the cell or blood stream. Hope I didn't confuse you too much. In short, some molecule just pass through. Some needs to be pumped across the cell membrane.
