Blood should never be flowing "in" the intestines--that is a serious problem. Instead, blood passes thru the arteries of the intestines into capillaries then thru venules into veins and ultimately into the portal vein to the liver.
Food passing through the intestines after ingesting gets broken down by the acids into basic amino acids, fats and minerals, like iron. It goes from lumen into microvilli to villi to venules to veins into the portal vein to the liver. Fats are directly absorbed into lacteals into the portal vein and then liver. The blood vessels feeding the small intestines adds fluids to the intestinal content. In the large intestines, the excess fluid is pulled back out and transported to the kidneys with the aid of blood flow.
What else can I help you with?
Why does blood flow into the small intestine?
Small intestine is where the food enters the blood.
Were does blood go to get nutrients?
the nutrients enter the blood in the small intestine. The lining of the small intestine is called the villi, that is were the blood is absorbed into the bloodstream
What organ absorbs the digested food into the blood?
The small intestine absorbs digested food into the blood.
Small intestine is to nutrient absorption as blood is to nutrient?
The small intestine is to nutrient absorption as the blood is to nutrient distribution.
In which organ does most digested food enter the blood?
It is absorbed into the blood through the vili in the small intestine.
Why does blood flow to the intestine?
Small intestine is where the blood picks up nutrients from what has been eaten
Why does the small intestine have a blood supply?
The small intestine requires a rich blood supply to deliver nutrients absorbed from food to the rest of the body. The blood vessels in the small intestine also help remove waste and transport it to the liver for processing. This intricate network of blood vessels supports the high metabolic activity of the small intestine.
What part of the apparatus represents small intestine?
It is either the iNTESTINE WALL OR BLOOD SURROUNDING THE INTESTINE
Where are nutrients absorbed into the blood?
The small intestine is where nutrients get into the blood.
Where food goes into the blood?
The small intestine.
The place where nutrients enters the blood?
Nutrients enter the blood primarily through the small intestine. After food is broken down in the stomach, nutrients are absorbed through the lining of the small intestine and into the bloodstream. From there, the blood carries these nutrients to different parts of the body where they are used for energy and growth.
What are the functions for the small intestine?
The functions of the small intestine are to collect nutrients,minerals, and moisture from the food that you eat to get energy for your body. The things in your small intestine that collect these needed things are called villi. They are finger-like shaped and are sponge-like to absorb the nutrients and minerals. After this job is complete, the rest is then sent to the large intestine for completion of the process digestion.
