Where are the end products of digestion absorbed?
Most of the nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine.
How do the small intestine help to absorb the products of digestion?
villi
What does does villi do in digestion?
The wall of the small intestine has folds that bear fingerlike prjections called villi. Villi in turn have projections called microvilli. The products of digestion are absorbed by microvilli and they enter the blood capillaries and the lacteals of the Villi.
What is the function of ileum?
The Ileum is responsible for absorption of nutrients into the blood stream. Also the jejunum has the same functionThe Ileum is the last section of the small intestine (its about 12 feet/ 3.6m in length) and joins the large intestine at the ileocecal valve. The role of the small intestine as a whole is its the major digestive system of the body. Digestion is completed in the small intestine and virtually all absorption of nutrients occurs here.the ileum absorbs B12 and bile salts and whatever products of digestion that were not absorbed by the jejumType your a What is the function of the ileum?nswer here... the thing that yeah!
What is the function of the epithelial function?
The function of epithelial tissue include: transportation of materials, protection of underlying tissues, absorption of water and nutrients and secretion of waste products.
Does digestion begin with chemical digestion only?
The digestive system is responsible for themechanical and chemical digestion of food products, for the absorption of nutrients, and the excretion of waste products. The proper functioning of the digestive system is necessary for proper nutrient absorption. Nutrients are critical to ensure overall good general health.BASICALLY I JUST USED MY COMMON SCENSE hope i helped sorry if i didnt im not good in science

When the circulatory system picks up nutrients from the digestive system where do they go?
Products of carbohydrate digestion and protien digestion move through brush border cells, diffuse through the interstitial fluid inside the villus, then enter a capillary. Products of fat digestion also cross the brush border cell and interstitial fluid, but they enter lymph vessels which eventually carry them to the blood.
How do the products of digestion get in from the small intestine to the cells in the rest of the body?
Nutrients and other chemicals get absorbed through the lining in the intestines; they are then transported to the rest of the body through the blood system.
What is the major role of absorption in the illeum?
The function of the ileum is mainly to absorb vitamin B12 and bile salts and whatever products of digestion were not absorbed by the jejunum.
Is true the itestinal villi contains capillaries and lacteals for chemical digestion?
yes. every mucosal villi in the small intestine contains a venule(vein) and arteriole (artery) and a lymph vessel (specifacally lacteals). The lacteals (lymph vessels) serve an important function in the absorption of fats and other nutrients. The capillaires transport the products of digestion of dietary proteins and carbohydrates, and the lacteals transport those of dietary fats.
What are the products of digestion of carbohydrate?
Sugars.
