Explanation:
- The small intestine has millions of tiny finger-like projections called villi. These villi increase the surface area for more efficient food absorption. Within these villi, many blood vessels are present that absorb the digested food and carry it to the bloodstream.
- The digested food is absorbed into the blood in the human body by the small intestine. The digested food passes through the walls of the small intestine and then into our bloodstream. Here the digested food is broken down into vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and fats. These all nutrients are reached to different cells and tissues by means of blood.
