Explain how the absorbed nutrients reach the rest of the body.
Open in App
Solution
Once the food is digested, the nutrients get absorbed in the small intestine.
Villi present in the inner lining of the small intestine are finger-like projections which are richly supplied with blood vessels.
So, during absorption, the nutrients enter these blood vessels and are then transported to the rest of the body.
These nutrients are utilised for various functions and this process is known as assimilation.
