PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The process by which digested food molecules are absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to different parts of the body is known as absorption. Absorption of food begins with the small intestine. The digested food molecules pass through the walls of the small intestine and then into the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -The proteins are broken down into simpler compounds by the action of pancreatic juice in the small intestine. The fats are broken down by the action of bile in the small intestine. The finger-like projection in the small intestine helps in absorption of food.
