Which part of digestive canal is involved in absorption of food?
The small intestine, specifically the jejunum is where most of the absorption occur.
In which area of the digestive system does most of the absorption of soluble food occur?
Most of the absorption of soluble food occurs in the small intestine. Specifically, the jejunum, which is the middle section of the small intestine, is primarily responsible for absorbing nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The walls of the small intestine are lined with villi and microvilli, which increase the surface area for absorption. This efficient absorption process is crucial for providing the body with essential nutrients.
Do most digestive absorption occur in colon?
No, most digestive absorption does not occur in the colon. The majority of nutrient absorption takes place in the small intestine, particularly in the jejunum and ileum, where carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals are absorbed. The colon primarily absorbs water and electrolytes, and its main role is to form and store feces.
Bile salts aid in the absorption of what?
Bile salts aid in the absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins by breaking them down into smaller particles that can be more easily absorbed in the small intestine.
Do bile salts work effectively in aiding digestion and absorption of fats in the body?
Yes, bile salts are effective in aiding digestion and absorption of fats in the body by emulsifying fats to make them easier to digest and absorb.
What is a bile acid?
A bile acid is any of the steroid acids produced by the liver, such as cholic acid, which occur as bile in sodium salts and serve to neutralize the contents of the stomach as they enter the duodenum and to aid the emulsification and absorption of fats.
Structure assisting absorption of long-chain fats?
Micelle
What plays a key role in the absorption and distribution of fats?
Lacteals
Where does absorption of glucose occur?

Which organs help digest fats?
The liver secretes bile which helps in fat absorption.
Is absorption mechanical or chemical?
does absorption occur when mechanical or chemical digestion
