The gallbladder, pancreas, and intestines assist the human liver. The gallbladder stores and releases bile produced by the liver to aid in digestion. The pancreas produces enzymes that help break down food in the intestines, which then absorb nutrients with the help of bile produced by the liver.
How does the blood travel after it gets the nutrients from food?
After blood absorbs nutrients from digested food in the intestines, it travels through the hepatic portal vein to the liver, where it processes and stores these nutrients. From the liver, the nutrient-rich blood enters the general circulation via the hepatic veins, distributing nutrients to cells throughout the body. These cells utilize the nutrients for energy, growth, and repair. Finally, any excess nutrients are stored or converted into other substances as needed.
What happend to the nutrients after they are carried to the liver?
In the liver, nutrients are processed and absorbed into the bloodstream. They can then be transported to cells throughout the body to provide energy, support growth, and maintain overall health. Any excess nutrients that are not immediately needed are stored in the liver or other tissues for future use.
