The major site of nutrient absorption in the body is the?
The major site of nutrient absorption is the small intestine.
Most absorption of nutrients occurs in the?
The small intestine, or the duodenum, is where most absorption of nutrients occur.
Small intestine is to nutrient absorption as blood is to nutrient?
The small intestine is to nutrient absorption as the blood is to nutrient distribution.
Most intestinal absorption occurs in the?
small intestine, and water absorption occurs in the colon/large intestine
In the average person what percentage of alcohol is absorbed through the small intestine?
In the average person, approximately 80-90% of alcohol is absorbed through the small intestine. The remaining absorption occurs in the stomach and other parts of the gastrointestinal tract. The rapid absorption in the small intestine is due to its large surface area and the presence of specialized transport mechanisms. This makes the small intestine a key site for alcohol absorption into the bloodstream.
Which part of digestive canal is involved in absorption of food?
The small intestine, specifically the jejunum is where most of the absorption occur.
What does tlhe small intestine do?
90% of the digestion and absorption of food occurs in the small intestine.
How is small intestine better adapted for absorption than thatof large intestine?
The small intestine has small tiny projections called "villi". These projections increase the surface area for absorption. The large intestine however lacks these structures.
Where is the site of absorption for most end products of digestions?
Most absorption takes places in the small intestine. More specifically, it is the jejunum portion of the small intestine that does the bulk of the absorption.
Where does most of the absorption of nutrients occur?
small intestine
Where does absorption of amino acids and simple sugars take place?
Absorption of amino acids and simple sugars primarily occurs in the small intestine. The inner surface of the small intestine is lined with villi and microvilli that increase the surface area for absorption. Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream through the villi and then transported to cells throughout the body for energy and growth.
What does nutrient absorption occur?
small intestine
