In which part of the digestive system does food get absorbed?
This is the simplest question all week. The ileum (i-li-um). The food we eat is absorb in the ileum, or the small intestine.Another ViewContrary to what was said above, most digested molecules of food, as well as water and minerals, are absorbed through the length of the small intestine, not just the ileum. The ileum is the final section of small intestine and absorbs only vitamin B12 and bile salts. The small intestine is made up of the jejunum and ileum. The mucosa of the small intestine contains many folds that are covered with tiny hair like projections called villi. In turn, the villi are covered with microscopic projections called microvilli. These structures create a vast surface area through which nutrients can be absorbed. Specialized cells allow absorbed materials to cross the mucosa into the blood, where they are carried off in the bloodstream to other parts of the body for storage or further chemical change. This part of the process changes with different types of nutrients.
Do nerves absorb nutrients into the bloodstream?
Digested molecules of food, water and minerals from your diet are absorbed from the cavity of the upper small intestine absorbed materials cross the mucosa into the blood stream and are carried off in the blood stream to other parts of the body for storage or further chemical changes process varies with different types of nutrients example proteins and carbohydrate's.

What two types of movements occur in the small intestine?
The two types of movement in the small intestine are peristalsis and segmental movements. Segmental movements, which are more common in the small intestine than peristalsis, move the digesting food back and forth in a part of the small intestine. This lets the food mix with intestinal juices. Peristalsis is one-way movement that pushes the digesting food through the small intestine toward the large intestine.
What types of tissue can have have microvilli?
Cells that line the small intestine are covered with microvilli for increased absorption.
What makes the enzymes for the small intestine?
The small intestine receives enzymes from the pancreas. It provides digestive enzymes for the breakdown of all three types of foods; carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
Where in the body is the small intestine?

What substances does the small intestines absorb?
the small intestine absorbs almost all types of foods. if the food is not absorbed here, then it will go out of the body on a free trip. it absorbs proteins (amino acids), fats (glycerol), starch (glucose), sugars. and all other nutrients that are necessary for the body functioning.
What is digested the small intestines?
