What else can I help you with?
Does the large intestine have villi?
The answer is small intestine.
How does digested get to cells?
Through your small intestine
How does digested food get cells?
Through your small intestine
Which structure is responsible for the absortion of nutrients from food?
The small intestine- micro-villi specifically in the small intestine. The micro-villi increases the surface area of the small intestine. which allows more food particles to enter the cells of the small intestine to digest.
What cells make up the small intestine?
The small intestine is primarily made up of epithelial cells, which line the inner surface and are responsible for nutrient absorption. Other cells found in the small intestine include goblet cells that secrete mucus, enteroendocrine cells that produce hormones, and immune cells like lymphocytes that help protect against pathogens.
What route does glucose take from your small intestine to your arm muscle cells?
glucose travel from small intestine to arms by hepatic portal vein
Pacemaker cells of the small intestine that regulate slow wave contractions are?
interstitial cells of Cajal
First layer of tissue in small intestine?
Columnar epithelial cells.
What can alcohol do to the small intestine?
the small intestines can't absorb nutrients as well
The type of epithelial cells most commonly associated with absorption is the small intestine is what?
The type of epithelial cells most commonly associated with absorption in the small intestine are simple columnar epithelial cells. These cells are equipped with microvilli, which increase the surface area for absorption, facilitating the uptake of nutrients. Additionally, goblet cells interspersed among them secrete mucus to aid in digestion. Overall, this structure enhances the efficiency of nutrient absorption in the small intestine.
What part of the small intestine produces maltase?
Maltase is produced by the brush border cells lining the small intestine, specifically in the duodenum and jejunum. These cells are responsible for absorbing nutrients, including sugars like maltose which maltase breaks down into glucose for absorption.
The cells of the small intestine absorb glucose and amino acids by the process of?
phagocytosis
