absorption
After nutrients are digested in the small intestine, they are absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the small intestine. This process is facilitated by tiny blood vessels called capillaries and specialized cells that line the intestine, allowing the nutrients to be transported to different parts of the body for energy and growth.
Absorption is the process by which nutrients are moved into lymph and blood.
This process occurs through the capillaries. Nutrients and oxygen diffuse from the blood into the tissues, while waste products and carbon dioxide diffuse from the tissues into the blood. This exchange is facilitated by the thin walls of the capillaries and the high surface area for diffusion.
The small intestine further breaks-down partly digested food using its enzymes and enzymes from the pancreas. It then absorbs the nutrients from these foods and passes the nutrients on to the blood capillaries.
Capillaries
Nutrients are exchanged primarily in the capillaries, which are tiny blood vessels that permeate tissues throughout the body. In the capillaries, oxygen and nutrients from the blood diffuse into the surrounding cells, while waste products and carbon dioxide move from the cells into the bloodstream. This exchange occurs in various tissues, but is particularly vital in the organs such as the intestines, where nutrients are absorbed from digested food, and in the lungs, where gas exchange occurs.
Nutrients travel from blood in capillaries to the tissues of the skin primarily through a process called diffusion. In this process, substances move from an area of higher concentration (in the capillaries) to an area of lower concentration (in the surrounding tissues). Additionally, filtration also plays a role, especially in areas where blood pressure pushes plasma and its dissolved nutrients through the capillary walls into the interstitial fluid surrounding the skin cells. This combination ensures that skin tissues receive the necessary nutrients for their metabolic functions.
The velocity of blood is slowest in the capillaries. This allows for maximum exchange of nutrients, gases, and wastes between the blood and the surrounding tissues.
The liquid part of the body that carries nutrients from the digested food is plasma.
How does digested food get into our blood?once almost fully digested the food moves through the inestines, while the waste moves on to be excreted, the nutrients and such which are a great use to the blood cells are absorbed through the walls of the intestines. Thus into our bloodstream. And that first you need to chew and it will go to your blood stream
