What else can I help you with?
Substances in foods that provide energy and materials for cell development growth and repair?
Nutrients are the substance in foods that the body needs to promote growth and repair body, tissues, and to get energy. The body needs nutrients including protein to regulate bodily functions.
This system is responsible for breaking down food so that nutrients may enter the blood stream?
"digestive"
Nutrients considered to be building blocks for body development are?
Proteins.
What is the important role of oxygen in the human body?
Oxygen plays a massive role in the human body. Oxygen is responsible for delivering nutrients to the cells in the human body.
What organ stores energy in the body and releases nutrients into the blood when needed?
Fat cells.
What digests nutrients wastes and bacteria that enter the cell?
your body
How and where do nutrients enter the body to support overall health and well-being?
Nutrients enter the body through the digestive system, primarily in the small intestine. They are absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to cells throughout the body to support overall health and well-being.
Where do nutrients from the digestive system go?
Nutrients from the digestive system enter the circulatory system. From there, they are transported to all body cells.
Nutrients and waste both enter and leave the body through a process called?
Nutrients enter the body through a process called absorption, where they are taken in by the cells for energy and other functions. Waste leaves the body through a process called excretion, where it is removed from the body to maintain a healthy internal environment.
Which organ helps break down nutrients for the body to use and gets rid of toxins that enter the body?
That function is done by the liver
Nutrients and oxygen how are they passed from plasma to body cells?
The nutrients and O do not come from the plasma to the body cells. They came from the red blood cells that deliver them (or so I thought). They then enter the capillaries and give the nutrients and O to the other cells and get the waste products like CO2.
What is the use of the capilaries?
The capillaries are the site of diffusion of wastes, oxygen, and nutrients. This allows these materials to enter and leave body tissues.
What is the process that takes digested food through the small intestine wall?
Absorption is the process that takes nutrients through the small intestine wall. These nutrients then enter the circulatory system, which carries the nutrients to all body cells.
Where Most nutrients enter the circulatory system through the?
Most nutrients enter the circulatory system through the small intestine. After digestion, nutrients are absorbed by the intestinal villi and then transported into the bloodstream. From there, they travel to the liver via the hepatic portal vein for processing and distribution to the rest of the body. This efficient system ensures that essential nutrients reach cells and tissues where they are needed.
What are examples of substances that enter or leave the body?
Examples of substances that enter the body include nutrients from food, oxygen from the air we breathe, and medications. Substances that leave the body include carbon dioxide when we exhale, waste products such as urine and sweat, and toxins removed by the liver.
How do nutrients enter our bodies?
Nutrients enter our bodies primarily through the digestive system. When we consume food, it is broken down in the stomach and intestines into smaller components, such as amino acids, fatty acids, and simple sugars. These smaller molecules are then absorbed through the intestinal walls into the bloodstream, where they are transported to cells throughout the body to support various functions and maintain overall health. Additionally, some nutrients can also enter the body through the skin or through inhalation, though these pathways are less common.
What system gets nutrients into the blood?
The digestive system extracts nutrients from food and releases them into the bloodstream for transport to cells around the body. Nutrient absorption primarily takes place in the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed through the intestinal wall and enter the bloodstream through tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
