to help with digestion
no...the only thing that absorbs through the stomach is alcohol. everything else absorbs in the intestinal tract.
Nutrients enter the blood primarily through the small intestine. After food is broken down in the stomach, nutrients are absorbed through the lining of the small intestine and into the bloodstream. From there, the blood carries these nutrients to different parts of the body where they are used for energy and growth.
Protein is firstly broken in the stomach through Chloridric acid. In the small intestine, the protein is absorbed into the blood stream through the inner wall of the small intestine.
Small amounts of alcohol can indeed pass directly into the bloodstream from the mouth or stomach. Most alcohol passes into the bloodstream through the liver though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alcohol is absorbed from the stomach and small intestine by diffusion. Most absorption occurs from the small intestine due to its large surface area and rich blood supply
The liver detoxifies the blood, synthesises protines, and produces biochemicals for digestion.
The path that food takes to get out of the small intestine and into the blood is through the body cells. When food is broken down in the stomach, nutrients are absorbed through the intestinal walls. The nutrients cross the mucosa into the bloodstream where they are transported to other parts of the body.
From the stomach, fluids travel to the small and large intestine. The main water absorption happens in the large intestine, where the water is absorbed into the blood. This creates a higher blood pressure. However, this blood goes travels through the kidneys, which senses there is higher blood pressure, and in turn, takes the water from the blood into the kidney. These fluid will then leave the body as a component of urine.
After eating, food is digested in your stomach and then passed through your small intestine. Nutrients are absorbed through the walls of the small intestine and into your blood stream, where it is carried to cells needing nutrients. Whatever food left over is waste and it is passed out of your body.
This occurs in cases of the more severe stomach (and duodenal) ulcers. Blood is oxidized, by the time it travels all the way through the intestine and the colon and, therefore, stools appear as blackish or "tarry".
The small intestine and more specifically the duodenum is where the bile from the stomach is broken down into an absorbable form.
Blood leaves the intestine through the hepatic portal vein and goes to the liver.
Roughly 20% is absorbed through the wall of the stomach. The rest is absorbed through the wall of the small intestine.
