"Food" never gets into the blood. What you eat is digested (broken down into its chemical components) by the stomach and small intestines. Villa (little finger like projections of cells) select what they want from what you eat and transport it to the mesenteric blood where it is carried to the liver where its processed into what the body needs.

How does oxygen and food get to the cells in your body?

Oxygen is carried to the cells by red blood cells in the bloodstream, where it is picked up by hemoglobin. Food is broken down into nutrients in the digestive system and then absorbed into the bloodstream, where it is carried to the cells for energy and growth.


How are nutrients absorbed into the bloodstream?

Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream through the lining of the small intestine. This process involves breaking down food into smaller molecules, which are then transported across the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream for distribution to the rest of the body.


Absorption involves the passage of materials into and out of what organ?

In and out of the bloodstream. I hope this helps.


Where does a developing baby get their food and oxygen from?

A developing baby gets its food and oxygen from the mother through the placenta. The placenta is an organ that develops during pregnancy and connects the baby's bloodstream to the mother's bloodstream, allowing for the exchange of nutrients and oxygen.


Where are food molecules absorbed into the bloodstream?

Food molecules are primarily absorbed into the bloodstream in the small intestine. The inner lining of the small intestine is covered in finger-like projections called villi, which increase the surface area available for absorption. Nutrients from food pass through the walls of the small intestine and into the bloodstream, where they are transported to cells throughout the body.
