When Nutrients that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream from the digestive tract do they go immediately to the liver?
Nutrients travel from your intestines to your liver in a few simple steps. When nutrients enter your small intestine, the small villi filter out the vital nutrients needed for bodily functions. Then, these nutrients are separated from the other contents - which move on to the large intestine for further filtering - and the nutrients are sent to the capillaries. The capillaries then send the nutrients throughout the blood. The red blood cells then transport the nutrients throughout the body's organs, including the liver!
