What else can I help you with?
A vessel which brings blood back to the heart?
Taking in nutrients through the small intestine
The place where nutrients enters the blood?
Nutrients enter the blood primarily through the small intestine. After food is broken down in the stomach, nutrients are absorbed through the lining of the small intestine and into the bloodstream. From there, the blood carries these nutrients to different parts of the body where they are used for energy and growth.
The structure that absorbs nutrients from the small intestines and delivers the nutrients in the blood to the liver is the?
hepatic portal vein
Is a vein a small blood vessel that delivers oxygen and other nutrients to cells?
No, a Capillary is a small blood vessel that delivers oxygen and other nutrients to cells.
What organs blood flow directly to portal vein?
The hepatic portal vein carries blood (and absorbed nutrients) from the small intestine to the liver.
Where do the Nutrients leave the small intestine and are carried by the blood to the?
Nutrients leave the small intestine through the intestinal villi, which are tiny finger-like projections that increase the surface area for absorption. Once absorbed, they enter the bloodstream via capillaries within the villi. The blood then carries these nutrients to the liver through the hepatic portal vein, where they are processed before being distributed to the rest of the body.
Where do the nutrients that pass through villi go?
The nutrients that pass through villi in the small intestine are absorbed into the bloodstream. From there, they are transported to various cells and tissues in the body where they are used for energy, growth, and repair. Any excess nutrients are stored for later use.
Where Most nutrients enter the circulatory system through the?
Most nutrients enter the circulatory system through the small intestine. After digestion, nutrients are absorbed by the intestinal villi and then transported into the bloodstream. From there, they travel to the liver via the hepatic portal vein for processing and distribution to the rest of the body. This efficient system ensures that essential nutrients reach cells and tissues where they are needed.
Are the majority of the nutrients absorbed in the liver?
No, the majority of nutrients are not absorbed in the liver; they are primarily absorbed in the small intestine. After digestion, nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal walls. Once absorbed, these nutrients travel to the liver via the portal vein, where the liver processes and distributes them to the rest of the body.
Vessel that transports nutrients to the liver?
An artery carries blood to the liver, not a vein. The hepatic artery.Maybe you meant to ask which vein receives nutrient-rich blood from the small intestine. That would be the superior mesenteric vein. But it doesn't go to the liver.
Where does blood flow to after the small intestine?
the bllod from small intestine drains into portal vein and which gives that blood to liver
Dissolved foods enter the blood stream to feed body cells through the?
process of digestion and absorption in the small intestine. Nutrients from digested food are broken down into smaller molecules that are absorbed through the lining of the small intestine into the bloodstream. These nutrients are then transported to body cells to provide energy and support various cellular functions.
