What else can I help you with?
Do water soluble nutrients absorbed into capillaries then enter the portal vein which leads them to the liver?
Yes! They travel to the liver via the hepatic portal vein. The liver detoxifies and sorts them out- amino acids are deaminated and sugars are stored. The non-soluble lipids are picked up by the lymph vessels (lacteals) in the villi.
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.
Which pathway water soluble vs non water soluble takes the longer?
Water-soluble pathways generally take longer than non-water soluble pathways. This is because water-soluble compounds dissolve in water and are typically excreted through the kidneys, requiring more time for processing and elimination. Non-water soluble compounds may be eliminated through the liver or stored in fat, processes that can be less time consuming.
Where organ is important in processing substances after they are absorbed during digestion?
The Liver.
What are the funcutions of the liver?
Processing fat and alcohol.
How did hormones travel from pancreas to your liver?
hormones travel from pancreas going to your stomach passes to your liver
What is Function of liver as a storage of vitamins?
The liver stores vitamins A, D, E, K (all fat soluble), and B12
What is the difference between conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin?
Conjugated bilirubin is water-soluble and has undergone processing in the liver to become more easily excreted in bile. Unconjugated bilirubin is insoluble in water and is the form that results from the breakdown of hemoglobin in red blood cells. They differ in terms of solubility and the liver's processing involvement.
Are fat-soluble vitamins stored in body fat?
in the liver and fatty tissues
Which organ makes almost all of the body's alcohol-processing machinery?
The liver is the organ primarily responsible for processing alcohol in the body. It breaks down alcohol into byproducts that can be eliminated from the body, helping to prevent alcohol toxicity.
Name a hormone involved in the processing of carbohydrate in the liver?
Glucagon
Examples of poorly water soluble drugs?
How about the age-old Cod Liver Oil...
