Blood passes through capillaries as a means of either passing products to the cells or picking up things from the cells.

The small intestine is where most digestion takes place so the capillaries pick up digested material to take to the liver via the portal system. The digested fat is picked up by the lymph capillaries, lacteals, which returns to the blood when the lymph connects to the right and left subclavians.

What cells of the small intestine receive oxygen by?

In the small intestine, the epithelial cells lining the intestinal villi receive oxygen primarily through diffusion from the blood in the capillaries that surround them. These capillaries are part of the mesenteric blood supply, which is rich in oxygenated blood delivered from the superior mesenteric artery. The close proximity of the capillaries to the epithelial cells facilitates the exchange of gases and nutrients. Additionally, the small intestine's extensive surface area enhances this oxygen delivery process.

How does a digested nutrient enter the bloodstream?

After nutrients are digested in the small intestine, they are absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the small intestine. This process is facilitated by tiny blood vessels called capillaries and specialized cells that line the intestine, allowing the nutrients to be transported to different parts of the body for energy and growth.
