absorption
Absorption is the process that takes nutrients through the small intestine wall. These nutrients then enter the circulatory system, which carries the nutrients to all body cells.
It starts in your mouth. Then you swallow and it goes down your gullet into your stomach. The liver takes out the minerals.Then it goes down into the small intestine. The large intestine around the small intestine takes out the healthy stuff.It then goes through your small intestine and out through the anus.
The Large Intestine
It is a process by which diffusible nutrients transfered from the gut into the blood or lymph by physico-chemical process and active transport. No absorption occurs in buccal cavity and very little absorption takes place in the stomach e.g. of alcohol. Particullarly all absorption takes place through the small intestine.
most of it takes place in the small intestines
Food stays in the organs for a relatively long time as it travels through the digestive system, where it is broken down and absorbed. The process of digestion takes time as the food moves through the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, where nutrients are extracted and waste is processed. Efficient digestion is important for the body to extract the necessary nutrients from food.
Food is not digested in the pancreas. In fact, food doesn't pass through the pancreas at all. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes to the small intestine (duodenum).
Most digestive food enters the bloodstream through the small intestine. The small intestine is where the majority of nutrient absorption takes place, as the walls of the small intestine are lined with tiny finger-like projections called villi that help absorb nutrients from digested food.
the small intestine takes all the good nutrients and if there are bad ones it takes it to the large intestine
In the small intestine, through villosities that is a epitelial sinuosity that amplifies the area of contact. The principal function of the villosities is to increase the absorption of the nutrients after the digestion.
The primary site of nutrient digestion is the small intestine, but this also takes place to a lesser extent in the stomach and mouth. The small intestine is also where the majority of digested nutrients are absorbed.
