Before entering the heart blood from the intestines must first pass through the?
The de oxygenated blood from the intestine is rich in nutrients as the small intestine is the organ that involves in absorption of the digested substances. The blood from intestine passes into the liver via the hepatic portal vein. This blood is transported through the liver as the liver regulates the quantity of substances in blood. Then the blood from the liver is taken back to the right atrium of the heart through the hepatic vein.

What is the funcution of a small intestine?
The primary function of the small intestine is the absorption of nutrients and minerals found in food. Most of the digestive enzymes that act in the small intestine are secreted by the pancreas and enter the small intestine via the pancreatic duct.these enzymes break down food particles and digested food passes into the blood vessels in the wall of the intestine. The absorbed substances are transported via the blood vessels to different organs of the body where they are used to build complex substances such as the proteins required by our body. The food that remains undigested and unabsorbed passes into the large intestine.
What is the hepatic system?
The hepatic (portal) system refers to the blood vessels that carry blood from the intestines, stomach, pancreas and spleen to the liver. Blood containing nutrients or drugs absorbed from the intestine is transported by the hepatic portal system to the liver for metabolism before distribution to the rest of the body.

The lymph system is used to carry fat molecules that have been absorbed from the small intestine, but the lymph system will ultimately end up emptying back into the circulatory system.
When soluble substances pass through the small intestine and into the blood?
enzymes
What two substances would be gained by blood as it passes through the small intestine?
blood and sperm
How do the products of digestion get in from the small intestine to the cells in the rest of the body?
