What is the process that moves food from the small intestine to the blood?
The procces is called absorption. If you want to get technical, however, the name of the process depends on what the nutirent being absorbed is. For instance sodium is absorbed using a protein carrier, glucose uses that same carrier but for glucose it is called a symporter because it takes a "free" ride with sodium. Once the nutirents cross the intestinal wall they are sent to the mesenteric veins which take them to the liver and then to the circulation. If the absorbed nutrient is a big fat molecule then it takes a different path; it is picked up the the lacteals and sent directly to the circulation, thus bypassing the liver.
Why is vitamin D good for the cardiovascular system?
To geta better answer, Google American Heart Association articles from January 2008 and after, with Dr. Wang, Harvard researcher, who stated that smooth muscle contains Vitamin D receptors. Offhand, most likely because Vitamin D enables calcium uptake in the body and calcium is needed in proper amounts for muscle/nerve coordination (proper calcium/sodium/magnesium balance).

What are two major nutrients supplied by the dairy group?
Calcium is important in building dense, strong bones in children; and in keeping bones healthy and strong in adults. A calcium deficiency may get in the way of proper blood clotting; and may bring on rickets; and osteoporosis, and therefore higher risk of bone breaks, in menopausal women. A calcium excess, ka over-retention, may get in the way of proper kidney functions, and mineral absorption; and may lead to too high levels of calcium in the blood. Vitamin D helps in the proper absorption of calcium, and phosphorus, from food in the intestines, into the blood. It also helps in the proper re-absorption of calcium, into the kidneys. A vitamin D deficiency may lead to liver, kidney or hereditary disorders. As with calcium deficiency, it may lead to such bone-softening diseases as rickets in children. A vitamin D excess, ka toxicity, is rarely the result of diet.

How do the organisms in soil help the soil?
Microbiota (microorganism in the soil) help to fix nitrogen and improve the absorption of other vital nutrients for plants. Besides maintaining proper pH, etc., this is one of the main reasons why it is necessary to keep the soil when transplanting one plant to another area. Without the symbiosis between the plants' roots and the microorganisms, the plants cannot properly absorb nutrients needed for it to live. In addition, insects and earthworms burrow through the soil, which aerate the soil, allowing for proper absorption of gases needed for the root systems (and the plants themselves) to live. This also prevents proper draining and absorption of water, preventing the root system from drying out or drowning.
Why is the small intestine so much longer then the large intestine?
The large intestine isn't "smaller" than the small intestine -- it's shorter. Digestion takes place in the small intestine therefore more surface area is needed for nutrient absorption. The primary role of the large intestine is to absorb water along with a few nutrients and to form and transport stool.
