The Ileum mainly absorbs vitamin B12 and bile salts and whatever products of digestion were not absorbed by the jejunum.
In the ileum, fats are broken down further by enzymes released from the pancreas and bile salts produced by the liver. These smaller fat molecules are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the lining of the small intestine for use as energy or storage in the body.
The ileum is a part of the digestive system. It is the final section of the small intestine where absorption of nutrients from digested food occurs before it passes to the large intestine.
The ileum is the end of the small intestine it basically absorbs digested material through its wall which enters into the bloodstream.
The jejuno-ileum (also the jejunum and the ileum separately) is the majority of the small intestine (the first part is the duodenum). Its main function is to absorb nutrients from particles that pass through.
A colostomy diverts feces from the colon through an opening in the abdomen. It does not involve the ileum or jejunum, as they are part of the small intestine.
ileum is not motion
The terminal portion of the small intestine is called the ileum. It connects to the large intestine at the ileocecal valve.
The jejuno-ileum (also the jejunum and the ileum separately) is the majority of the small intestine (the first part is the duodenum). Its main function is to absorb nutrients from particles that pass through.
Bolus goes down esophagus, through lower esophageal sphincter (aka, cardiac sphincter) and into stomach. (A sphincter is a circular muscle which squeezes shut or opens the tubular digestive tract). It then passes through pyloric sphincter into small intestine. The small intestine is made up first of the duodenum, then jejunum, then ileum. From ileum, bolus goes to ascending colon, then transverse colon, then descending colon. From there to rectum and then out through anus (anal sphincter) .
small intestine by the distal ileum
LOL you don't know what an ileum is? noob! only retards don't know what an ileum is!
