Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The walls of the small intestine absorb the digested nutrients into the bloodstream. The blood delivers the nutrients to the rest of the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Digested nutrients are absorbed into the blood through capillaries in the small intestine. They are then moved to the cells around the body where they are needed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Once nutrients enter the blood stream after absorption occurs they will travel to the liver. The liver processes nutrients where it will store nutrients absorbed in excess and transport nutrients through the bloodstream to what organs will require them.
