Detailed explanation-1: -The ileum is the final portion of the small intestine, measuring around 3 meters, and ends at the cecum. It absorbs any final nutrients, with major absorptive products being vitamin B12 and bile acids.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vitamins A, D, E, and K, fats, and cholesterol are absorbed in the lower third of the ileum. Vitamin B12 is absorbed just before the small intestine joins the large intestine. Bile salts are reabsorbed in the distal ileum and the ascending colon.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ileum: This last part of the small intestine is where vitamin B12, bile acids, and other nutrients are absorbed.
Detailed explanation-4: -The ileum helps to further digest food coming from the stomach and other parts of the small intestine. It absorbs nutrients (vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and water from food so they can be used by the body. The small intestine connects the stomach and the colon.
Detailed explanation-5: -Essentially all vitamin absorption occurs in the small intestine.
