HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -The small intestine completes most of the digestive process and absorbs many nutrients through villi (small finger-like projections). From the villi the nutrients enter into the blood and lymphatic systems.

Detailed explanation-2: -More specifically, there are four sections of the stomach-rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum-each with a particular job to do. These sections store chewed plant material and grain, absorb nutrients and vitamins, break down proteins, aid in beginning digestion and dissolve material into processable pieces.

Detailed explanation-3: -The small intestine absorbs most of the nutrients in your food, and your circulatory system passes them on to other parts of your body to store or use. Special cells help absorbed nutrients cross the intestinal lining into your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-4: -The abomasum is the “true stomach” of a ruminant. It is the compartment that is most similar to a stomach in a nonruminant.

Detailed explanation-5: -The abomasum is also referred to as the true stomach. It has a similar function to stomachs of other animals, like humans. It has a low pH – an acidic environment that kills the bacteria that pass from the rumen. The abomasum is where the digestion of microbial and dietary proteins begins.
