When food is digested, it is absorbed into the blood from the small intestine walls. From there the blood is drained into the hepatic portal vein. The hepatic portal vein then goes to the liver. The blood in this vein is very rich in nutrients. If it was allowed to drain into the main blood stream directly, these large amounts of nutrients would disrupt the osmotic and chemical balance of the blood and tissues.
In the liver, excess substances are removed and stored for further use. Toxic compounds like alcohol and drugs are also metabolized and converted into harmless compounds that can then be excreted from the body.
After the liver is done, the nutrients, in a correct amount, enter the main blood stream. From here they flow in the blood to the heart. The heart oxygenates this blood and returns it to the circulatory system. Blood flows into arteries and from these into capillaries in the tissues. This brings the blood in contact with the cells.
Now, the cells can take up the nutrients. The manner in which cells take up a nutrient depends on the nature of the nutrient. Some may flow into the cell down their concentration gradient, others might need to use carrier proteins. Some substances like glucose require active transport to be taken up (by the action of insulin on gated protein channels).
From digestion to inter-cellular space through to blood vessels, in which the blood then brings the molecules to rest of the body
yes, it is carried by the blood stream
The digested food is in form of glucose which is broken down in mitochondria to release energy.
blood is carried in the blood vessels.
The blood vessels on the intestinal wall pumps blood along with digested food. They are pumped into the ventral and dorsal blood vessels.
Digested molecules of food, as well as water and minerals from the diet, are absorbed from the cavity of the upper small intestine. The absorbed materials cross the mucosa into the blood, mainly, and are carried off in the bloodstream to other parts of the body for storage or further chemical change.
in bloo vessels rbc, wbs & fluid is carried in form of blood
Yes it is.
it is not absorbed because of dead cells, or pathogen!
The intestine is in the near the blood vessels
so that the nutrients are absorbed to the blood stream
the stomach and the small and large intestines
Nutrients are carried by the blood.
It is absorbed into the blood through the vili in the small intestine
