How does digested food enter the blood?

Answer 1

Some substances already in its simple form like water and simple starches are directly absorbed in the digestive system-from the mouth to the intestines. Each digested food undergoes different stages of catabolism or breaking up of substances to be absorbed in the digestive system mainly in the intestines then going through the bloodstreams. Example: the carbohydrates will become sugar, the protein will be broken down into amino acids. Such substances will enter the bloodstreams then go through the liver for detoxification before their distribution throughout the body for metabolism of the different nutrients.♥

Answer 2

The digested food is absorbed through the intestines and get into the blood stream,where the different nutrients are distributed, I'm not a DR but from what I remember in biology this is the process....

Answer 3

Yes, i remember the last time I look at a slide throught the microscope, I had difficulty identifying the blood cells through all the t-bone steaks that were in there... food doesn't enter into the blood, literally, it's digested in the GI System and broken down there...

Answer 4

Our small intestines has villis and inside the villis, are blood vessels. The nutrients of the digested food goes through the cells in the lining of the villis and into the blood stream.

Answer 5

Different organs digest food at different stages...nutrients are broken down in the stomach, the intestines, liver...so it just depends on what stage of breakdown the food is at...you can find more details if you google this or you can look in Anatomy and Physiology books too...

Answer 6

food is digested in to it's constituent parts during mastication (chewing), in the stomach and small intestine. it's nutrients are then absorbed through the small intestine wall in to the blood stream

Answer 7

The food you chew and swallow is mixed in the stomach with gastric fluids and passed to the duodenum, then along the small and large intestines. On it's "journey", the intestines absorb the nutrients that the body needs. Your body's intestines also absorb fluids needed. What it doesn't need, passes out.

Answer 8

food goes into the stomach. it is broken down or dissolved by stomach juices. these juices are absorbed directly in to the blood system through the lining of the stomach, which is lined with millions of tiny, short, hair or finger like receivers

Answer 9

First it enters thru the SMALL Intestine.

Answer 10

Through the wall of the small intestine via the villi
