What happens to food as it passes through the small intestine?
Digestion is completed and absorbed into the bloodstream
What happens to the unabsorbed food in our small intestine?
the unabsorbed food in the small intestine passes through the ileocecal valve to the large intestine where, after the last few nutrients and fluids are reabsorbed, it is defecated.
What passes through the thin walls of the capillaries?
Blood passes through the capillaries, which provide a passage way for the blood from the arteries to the veins. The tiny, thin walled capillaries also allow for the exchange of gases through the tissue. You can read more about capillaries at fi.edu
Why does blood need to pass through the capillaries in the small intestine?
Blood passes through capillaries as a means of either passing products to the cells or picking up things from the cells. The small intestine is where most digestion takes place so the capillaries pick up digested material to take to the liver via the portal system. The digested fat is picked up by the lymph capillaries, lacteals, which returns to the blood when the lymph connects to the right and left subclavians.
Oxygen passes from the blood into organs through the walls of?
Oxygen passes from the blood into organs through the wall of capillaries.
What happens to the blood as it passes through the pulmonary capillaries?
There is an exchange with oxygen, nutrients, and carbon dioxide and water vapor.
What is the gas that passes into the bloodstream through the capillaries of the lungs?
oxygen
What are the names of the organs that fiber passes through?

What happens to gut contents as it passes along the large intestine?

What happens to indigestible material in the small intestine?
Indigestible material in the small intestine is moved to the large intestine for further processing. It passes through the digestive system and eventually exits the body as waste. The small intestine absorbs nutrients from the digested food and liquids before passing on the indigestible material.
What is the body organ which oxygen passes through to capillaries?
The alveoli and capillaries in the lungs pass oxygen to the blood. Both have very thin walls, which allow the oxygen to pass from the alveoli to the blood. The capillaries then connect to larger blood vessels, called veins, which bring the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
