About this document
Absorption of Digested Food in Small Intestine by Muhammad Syafiq Ramli is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The small intestine absorbs digested food including sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Villi in the small intestine increase the surface area for absorption. Villi are supplied with blood vessels that carry absorbed nutrients to cells throughout the body. Glucose and amino acids are used for energy production and cell growth and repair, while excess nutrients are stored or excreted.
