What carries nutrients to the body's cells?
The bloodstream carries nutrients to the body's cells. Nutrients from the food we eat are absorbed in the digestive system and then transported via the bloodstream to cells throughout the body, providing them with the necessary energy and building blocks for proper functioning.
In what organ of the digestive system do nutrients enter the blood?
Nutrients are absorbed into the blood primarily in the small intestine. This is facilitated by the small intestine's large surface area, thanks to the presence of villi and microvilli, which aid in nutrient absorption into the bloodstream.
The absorbed nutrients travel to the liver via the?
Absorbed nutrients from the intestines travel to the liver via the hepatic portal vein. This vein carries blood rich in nutrients from the intestines directly to the liver for processing and storage. Once in the liver, the nutrients are metabolized and distributed to the rest of the body as needed.
Materials that are carried to the cells of the body?
Nutrients and oxygen are carried to the cells of the body by the bloodstream. Nutrients are mostly transported by the circulatory system after being absorbed from the digestive system, while oxygen is carried by red blood cells through the process of respiration.
Where do the nutrients from food get absorbed into the blood stream?
Nutrients from food are primarily absorbed in the small intestine. The walls of the small intestine are lined with tiny finger-like projections called villi, which increase the surface area available for nutrient absorption. Nutrients are then transported across the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream for distribution throughout the body.
Why should the food be digestive?
so that the nutrients are absorbed to the blood stream
Does the circulatory system moves the nutrients absorbed by the digestive system to the cells in your body?
Yes, nutrients absorbed by the digestive system are transported around the body by the blood of the circulatory (or cardiovascular) system.
Where are nutrients absorbed into the blood through the walls of?
It passes through the wall of the digestive system, then into the blood.
Does plasma carry food from the digestive system?
Yes and no. It carries nutrients and electrolytes that is absorbed from your intestines.
How do nutrients get to the rest of the body from the digestive system?
Nutrients are absorbed by small intestine. They are presented to the liver for processing. Then they are sent to the rest of the body via blood.
Where are nutrients absorbed into the blood?
The small intestine is where nutrients get into the blood.
What does the villi absorb nutrients from the small intestine to?
Most nutrients are absorbed directly into the blood but fats are taken into the lacteal (part of the lymphatic system)
Which blood vessel allows blood from the digestive system to be sent directly to the liver?
The digestive tract and the liver are connected by the hepatic portal vein. This allows nutrients to pass from the digestive tract to the liver for processing.
What organs blood flow directly to portal vein?
The hepatic portal vein carries blood (and absorbed nutrients) from the small intestine to the liver.
Is a fish's digestive system intracellular or extracellular?
A bony fish's digestive system is an extracellular process - the food in ingested, taken into the stomach where acid and compression works to break it down. It then transits into the intestinal system where it is completely broken down and the nutrients absorbed into the blood stream. At this point the nutrients will go from extracellular to intracellular as they are absorbed by the body tissues from the blood stream.
Which system will the digestive system work with to ensure that your body gets the nutrients from the food you eat?
When nutrients are digested they are then absorbed into the blood stream. The cardiovascular system then distributes those nutrients to the different areas of the body that are in need of them.
What is the main function of the digestive system in worms frogs pigs and humans?
The main function is to break down all the nutrients so that they are absorbed in the blood stream.
