What else can I help you with?
What are the functions of the small intestines?
To take the nutrients out of food and let them be abosered into your bloodstream
What Small hair like parts absorb nutrients from the food in your intestines?
The small hair-like parts that absorb nutrients from food in the intestines are called villi. Villi are finger-like projections that line the walls of the small intestine and increase surface area for nutrient absorption. Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream through the villi and are then circulated throughout the body.
How is the water you drink absorbed into the blood?
Water is absorbed into the blood through a process called osmosis in the small intestine. The water molecules pass through the walls of the small intestine and into the bloodstream, where they are then circulated throughout the body.
What organ where nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream?
Nutrients are absorbed throughout the digestive process. Specific nutrients are absorbed in the stomach and large intestines, but the majority of nutrients are absorbed in the small intestines.
The breakdown of food into molecules small enough to enter the bloodstream is primarily accomplished by the?
The breakdown of food into molecules small enough to enter the bloodstream is primarily accomplished by the process of digestion. This involves mechanical and chemical breakdown of food in the mouth, stomach, and intestines, with the help of enzymes, to break down macromolecules into smaller molecules that can be absorbed by the body.
What organ carries nutrients and passes it to the bloodstream?
The small intestine is the organ responsible for absorbing nutrients from digested food and passing them into the bloodstream. This process involves the breakdown of food particles into smaller molecules that can be absorbed through the intestinal walls and transported to various cells in the body for energy and other functions.
What are villi functions in digestion process?
you villi is in your small intestines.
Process by which food enters the bloodstream from the small intestine?
diffusion
This process starts in the mouth and continues in the small and large intestines?
digestion
Where does most of the absorption of nutrients occur?
small intestine
How the nutrients travel to the parts of the body?
Nutrients travel from the mouth (or a blood vessel if being fed that way) to the stomach then onto the small intestines. The mucosa of the small intestines then receives the nutrients and sends it to the bloodstream via the blood vessels attached to the small intestines. The nutrients are then sent around the body via these blood vessels to the areas where these nutrients are needed.
The small and large intestines are known by the general term?
what is the process of excretion called
