Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The food we eat passes through the ____ ?
A
Large intestine
B
Heart
C
Gallbladder
D
Small intestine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Food is then squeezed into the lower parts of the small intestine, called the jejunum and the ileum. Nutrients are absorbed from the ileum, which is lined with millions of finger-like projections called villi. Each villus is connected to a mesh of capillaries. This is how nutrients pass into the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -From the small intestine, undigested food (and some water) travels to the large intestine through a muscular ring or valve that prevents food from returning to the small intestine. By the time food reaches the large intestine, the work of absorbing nutrients is nearly finished.
