because it helps it
Once you digest food the enzymes in the intestine will digest the nutrients into small components. So that they could be absorbed by the intestine into the bloodstream, and throughout the body in order to be reused by the body cells.
Because of the ENZYMES
The small intestine further breaks-down partly digested food using its enzymes and enzymes from the pancreas. It then absorbs the nutrients from these foods and passes the nutrients on to the blood capillaries.
The pancreas, secretes a number of enzymes including pancreatic juice which goes into the small intestine. These enzymes help breakdown the nutriental compounds in chyme from the gall bladder's bile which originally helped break down the consumed product in the stomach. Overall, the pancreas helps break down nutrients in the small intestine and separates the good from the bad and the bad....well, is the waste. The nutrients go to your body.
The two main jobs of the small intestine are digestion and absorption. It digests food using enzymes and other substances, breaking down nutrients into smaller molecules. These nutrients are then absorbed through the walls of the small intestine and into the bloodstream to be used by the body.
A human absorbs nutrients primarily in the small intestine. The pancreas and gallbladder release enzymes into the small intestine to break down the digested food into its molecular forms, and it's absorbed through the small intestine wall into the bloodstream.
Enzymes are acids in our stomach than break down food particles. You see, When we chew food, it is not broken down completely, so enzymes break them down in the stomach, and there are stronger enzymes in the small intestine, where, all the nutrients from the food are taken by tiny holes in the small intestine called "villi". When all the nutrients are taken out from the food, it becomes waste (poop). ;)
Small intestine is where 90% of nutrients are absorbed.
The pancreas manufactures enzymes that help digest carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. These enzymes are released into the small intestine to break down these nutrients into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body for energy.
No, the small intestine does not produce digestive enzymes. Instead, it receives enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver that help break down food for absorption. The small intestine primarily absorbs nutrients from the digested food.
In the small intestine, chyme is further broken down by enzymes and absorbed into the bloodstream for nutrients to be used by the body.
Nutrients in frogs are primarily absorbed in the small intestine. After food is digested in the stomach, it moves into the small intestine, where enzymes continue to break it down, allowing for the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream. Some absorption also occurs in the large intestine, but its primary role is water reabsorption and waste formation.
