Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The small intestine is responsible for absorption of nutrients, salt, and water. On average, approximately nine liters of fluid enters the jejunum each day. The small intestine absorbs approximately seven liters, leaving only 1.5-2 liters to enter the large intestine.
Detailed explanation-3: -The jejunum has an enterocyte cell lining that digests small nutrients with the help of digestive enzymes. The ileum aids in the absorption of bile salts, vitamin B12, and other byproducts.
