Question

what is absorption how does food get absorbed in small intestine

Answer 1

Here is your answer....


The small intestine is mainly responsible for the absorption process. The villi and microvilli increase the surface area of absorption. The stomach, on the other hand, is an organ that primarily stores food temporarily along with the digesting proteins. Hence the small intestine has villi and not the stomach.

Answer 2

hi mate,

==> we know that the 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 blood stream.

==> and also we know that the food breakdown into glucose and then the cerb's cycle reaction takes that is given in the book class 10 bio and the rest material move in small intestine small villi like projection aborb the nutrients and that are absorb by cell and the cellulose of food which is indigested expelled out.

==> Digestive juice produced by the small intestine combines with pancreatic juice and bile to complete digestion.

==> The body completes the breakdown of proteins, and the final breakdown of starches produces glucose molecules that absorb into the blood.

===>>The small intestine, despite its name, is the longest part of the gastrointestinal tract.

==>> It works with other organs of the digestive system to further digest food after it leaves the stomach and to absorb nutrients.

I hope it helps you
