The process of food entering the bloodstream is called absorption. Enzymes that are released by various organs of the digestive system assist in the chemical breakdown of food into smaller molecules so that it can be absorbed by the body.
so that the nutrients are absorbed to the blood stream
so that the nutrients are absorbed to the blood stream
the food becomes nutrients and undigested food becomes a waste............... :D
Vitamins, nutrients and all the good, healthy stuff in food.
"digestive"
The nutrients of food are absorbed at the intestine from where they reach the organs and tissues through the circulatory system.
This is called blood plasma.
The process is called metabolism.Digestion is the mechanical and chemical breaking down of food into smaller components that can be absorbed into a blood stream,
The digested food is in form of glucose which is broken down in mitochondria to release energy.
After eating, food is digested in your stomach and then passed through your small intestine. Nutrients are absorbed through the walls of the small intestine and into your blood stream, where it is carried to cells needing nutrients. Whatever food left over is waste and it is passed out of your body.
In the case of multi-cellular organisms such as human beings, cells receive food by way of the blood, which carries nutrients to them, which they then absorb through their cell membranes.
The part of the digestive system that absorbs nutrients is the small intestines. They absorb essential nutrients from food into the blood stream.
