After food get digested, there are enzymes that break down larger molecules such as proteins and carbohydrates into smaller molecules before it can pass into the blood stream. Mainly in the small intestine, nutrients pass into the blood stream. Depending on the type of "nutrient" that get passed through, some just diffuse through by difference in concentration gradient. Some require active pumps in the lining of the small intestine to pump the "nutrient" into the cell or blood stream. Hope I didn't confuse you too much. In short, some molecule just pass through. Some needs to be pumped across the cell membrane.

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.


Passage of materials through villi into the blood?

Digested nutrients are absorbed through the wall of the small intestine by villi, which are finger-like projections that increase the surface area for absorption. Once absorbed, the nutrients pass through the villi into the bloodstream to be transported to cells throughout the body for energy and other functions. This process allows for efficient absorption of nutrients from the digested food.


What Venous system that carries digested materials?

The hepatic portal system carries digested nutrients from the intestines to the liver for processing. This system collects blood from the stomach, intestines, spleen, and pancreas and delivers it to the liver via the portal vein. The liver processes nutrients before they enter the general circulation.


What system does the small intestine belong?

It is part of the digestive system for the small and large intestines do their part in digesting all the food we eat. The small intestines takes the nutrients out of our food and puts it into our blood stream and the large intestines (colon) takes the moisture out of the digested food (bolus) for excretion.


How do your bodies deliver nutrients into the blood?

Your body delivers nutrients into the blood through the food that you eat. As food is broken down the nutrients are absorbed into the blood stream and are then carried to tissues and organs throughout the body.

If you have just eaten food where will your blood go?
