The absorption of food is a complex mechanism. When the food substances have been so altered by the enzymes in the duodenum that they now consist of minute's fragments which can readily be used by the body, they are transported to the next two sections of the small intestine, the jejunum and ileum. It is principally here that usable components are taken up by the body. They are absorbed. Absorptions
in these sections of the small intestine proceeds rather like sorting out specific parts from a conveyor belt. Individual substances are selected along the entire length of the small intestine and transported through the wall of the circulatory system.
Naturally, if the absorption through the wall of the small intestine into the bloodstream is disturbed, the whole digestive system soon ceases to function. This has repercussions on the stomach and the affected person suffers from gastrointestinal discomforts.
No one will now be surprised to learn that enzyme plays a decisive role in the absorption in the building components from the intestinal track to the circulatory system. Furthermore, numerous enzymes are essential as transports for useful substances that the body needs.
