The procces is called absorption.
If you want to get technical, however, the name of the process depends on what the nutirent being absorbed is. For instance sodium is absorbed using a protein carrier, glucose uses that same carrier but for glucose it is called a symporter because it takes a "free" ride with sodium.
Once the nutirents cross the intestinal wall they are sent to the mesenteric veins which take them to the liver and then to the circulation. If the absorbed nutrient is a big fat molecule then it takes a different path; it is picked up the the lacteals and sent directly to the circulation, thus bypassing the liver.
What else can I help you with?
What moves food through the small intestine?
Peristalsis, which is the coordinated contraction and relaxation of muscles in the intestinal wall, moves food through the small intestine. This process helps to mix and propel the food along the digestive tract for absorption.
Name the part of the digestive system where food spends the most time?
The small intestine is where food spends the most time during the digestive process. This is where nutrients from food are absorbed into the bloodstream before the remaining waste moves to the large intestine.
What watery liquid moves from the stomach to the small intestine?
The watery liquid that moves from the stomach to the small intestine is called chyme. Chyme is a mixture of partially digested food, stomach acid, and enzymes that is produced in the stomach to aid in digestion and absorption of nutrients in the small intestine.
What nephron structures are involved with absorption?
The small and large intestines. The small intestine contains blood capillaries and lymph vessels.
Where does most digestive food enter your blood?
Most digestive food enters the bloodstream through the small intestine. The small intestine is where the majority of nutrient absorption takes place, as the walls of the small intestine are lined with tiny finger-like projections called villi that help absorb nutrients from digested food.
When digestion is finished do the particles of digested food move into blood vessels in the small intestine?
i think that it is a true statement because it says it moves into the blood vessels of the small intestine
When digestion is finished the particles of digested food move into blood vessels in the small intestine?
i think that it is a true statement because it says it moves into the blood vessels of the small intestine
What Process in which food molecules pass from the small intestine to the blood?
Absorption is the process
Food moves into the large intestine when?
Food moves into the large intestine after it has been digested by the small intestine.
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 process moves materials threw the small intestine?
Perastalsis, the wave of muscular contractions that moves food through the entire digestive system.
What moves food through the small intestine?
Peristalsis, which is the coordinated contraction and relaxation of muscles in the intestinal wall, moves food through the small intestine. This process helps to mix and propel the food along the digestive tract for absorption.
What moves food through to your stomach?
your large intestine and small intestine
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 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.
