All the broken down foods that are too large to pass through the walls of the small intestine enter the large intestine, then in the large intestine the food is all pushed down removing any waters and then it finally comes out the anus. (:

What body process breaks food into nutrients?
Once the food has reached the stomach and is worked on by enzymes to break them down into absorbable forms of proteins and carbohydrates and other nutrients the 'food' is now passed into the small intestine from where it is absorbed accross the small intestine lining through the cells into the blood and taken round the body. On its way round the body, the nutrients in the blood are absorbed into the places where they are needed. To sum this up, the body absorbs the nutrients into the blood through capillaries in the intestines.
How do digested nutrients get in the blood stream?
After food get digested, there are enzymes that break down larger molecules such as proteins and carbohydrates into smaller molecules before it can pass into the blood stream. Mainly in the small intestine, nutrients pass into the blood stream. Depending on the type of "nutrient" that get passed through, some just diffuse through by difference in concentration gradient. Some require active pumps in the lining of the small intestine to pump the "nutrient" into the cell or blood stream. Hope I didn't confuse you too much. In short, some molecule just pass through. Some needs to be pumped across the cell membrane.
What is a liquid that carries oxygen nutrients and waste through the body?

What remains in the small intestines after nutrients have passed through its walls?
Chyme (thick, semi-fluid mass of food). Chyme is undigestible material plus water. When it moves into the small intestine, the water will be mostly removed and what is left will be excreted as feces.
What is the name of the 22-foot long coiled tube where most chemical digestion and absorption of food occurs?
It's called the Small Intestine. It is the longest part of your digestive system. Through a muscular movement called peristalsis, food is squeezed through the small intestine. The nutrients from food are absorbed into your blood stream by microvillus, which are microscopic and line the intestine. Once the food has passed through the small intestine, all the important nutrients have been extracted so the left over food is passed on through the large intestine and later excreted.
What happen is the small intestine?
Food is passed from the stomach, and it goes through the long tube called the small intestine. In the villi it absorbs nutrients and sends it to the bloodstream, the small intestine is the biggest part of the digestive system, and the food is send to the large intestine where it is made into excrement.

Why do scientist consider it to be accurate that nutrients are not really inside the body until they have passed through the wall of the small intestine?
because most of the absorption work done in small intestine so if nutrients will not reach here thet cant be absorbed and they will not utilised in body activities

How do our bodies break food down into useful nutrients?
Through digestion, we chew the food we eat and we swallow it. Then, it gets to the stomach where it is mixed together with water and other fluids. After that, the food is passed on to the intestine. Nutrients escape through the walls of the intestine into our blood. From there they are carried to all parts of the body. Most food leaves waste that the body cannot use. Some of it goes to the kidneys and turns into urine. The liver also filters out waste. What is left over passes through the large intestine and leaves our body.
