In the small intestine, the epithelial cells lining the intestinal villi receive oxygen primarily through diffusion from the blood in the capillaries that surround them. These capillaries are part of the mesenteric blood supply, which is rich in oxygenated blood delivered from the superior mesenteric artery. The close proximity of the capillaries to the epithelial cells facilitates the exchange of gases and nutrients. Additionally, the small intestine's extensive surface area enhances this oxygen delivery process.
What else can I help you with?
How does nutrients enter your blood stream?
through cells in the villi of the small intestine
Does the large intestine have villi?
The answer is small intestine.
What cells are in the small intestine?
Columnar epithelial cells.
Capilaries in small intestine do what?
Capillaries in the small intestine absorb nutrients from the digestive tract. Capillaries in the small intestine also bring oxygen and carry away waste from the intestine.
How does digested get to cells?
Through your small intestine
How does digested food get cells?
Through your small intestine
Organ that receives pancreatic juice and bile?
The duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
How do oxygen and particles of digested food get into the cells of your body?
Oxygen and particles of digested food get into the cells from the small intestine, from there they drain into the hepatic portal vein. The hepatic portal vein goes to the liver to filter out nutrients required and excesses are metabolized and converted.
Which structure is responsible for the absortion of nutrients from food?
The small intestine- micro-villi specifically in the small intestine. The micro-villi increases the surface area of the small intestine. which allows more food particles to enter the cells of the small intestine to digest.
Where does glucose and oxygen get in your body?
Glucose is absorbed from the food you eat in the small intestine, while oxygen is inhaled into the lungs and then transferred into the bloodstream. Both glucose and oxygen are then transported by the circulatory system to cells throughout the body for energy production.
What cells make up the small intestine?
The small intestine is primarily made up of epithelial cells, which line the inner surface and are responsible for nutrient absorption. Other cells found in the small intestine include goblet cells that secrete mucus, enteroendocrine cells that produce hormones, and immune cells like lymphocytes that help protect against pathogens.
What route does glucose take from your small intestine to your arm muscle cells?
glucose travel from small intestine to arms by hepatic portal vein
