Answer:
Explanation:
→ During digestion of a meal, nutrients (including dietary sugars) are primarily absorbed by epithelium of the small intestine. The tissue transfers these nutrients immediately to the venous circulation (mesententeric veins) that drains blood from the small bowel. These veins then drain into the portal vein which brings the nutrients to the liver for first pass processing.
