What happens to the nutrients right before they leave the small intestine?
Before nutrients leave the small intestine, they are absorbed through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. This is where they are transported to the liver and then to various cells in the body to be used for energy, growth, and repair. Any remaining waste products will move on to the large intestine for further processing.
What happens to the nutrients before they leave the small intestine?
The nutrients absorb
Nutrients in intestine are carry into body by what?
transport to the kidneys which send them to the cells in the body
How does nutrients enter your blood stream?
through cells in the villi of the small intestine
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.
What can alcohol do to the small intestine?
the small intestines can't absorb nutrients as well
What are all over the outside of the small intestine to absorb nutrients and deliver them to cells of the body?
pancreas
What is the organ where diffusion of digested nutrients occurs?
Ingested food is diffused mainly in the small and large intestine. The small intestine is the big player which has fields of finger-like projections called villi which are composed of cells and on each of those cells they have microvilli which are protrusions of cell membrane. This increases the surface area tremendously to increase the amount of nutrients diffused.
Where cell has the largest surface area?
Cells with the largest surface area are typically found in specialized structures like the small intestine. The cells lining the small intestine have microvilli, which greatly increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients. These cells are specifically adapted to maximize their contact with nutrients in the digestive system.
What could you infer about the body's ability to supply nutrients to its cells if the small intestine did not have villi?
I have noo idea
What is the organ where nutrients is absorbed?
Nutrients are primarily absorbed in the small intestine. The inner walls of the small intestine are lined with tiny, finger-like projections called villi that increase surface area for nutrient absorption. These villi contain specialized cells that transport nutrients into the bloodstream for distribution throughout the body.
Which human organ system carries nutrients to the cells?
The blood carries nutrients from the small intestine to all over the body. The villi in the small intestine allow nutrients to pass through the intestinal wall to the blood vessels. Then the blood carries the nutrients away.
