what does the ileum absorb?
375144
the ileum is part of the intestine it is the final section of the small intestine before reaching the ceum and following the jejenum and the duodenum\n\nthe primary function of the ileum is to absorb vitamin b12 and bile salts apssed down via the digestive tract.\n\nthe ileum contains the enzymes protease and carbohydrase, \nso we can deduce that it absorbs protien and carbohydrate the ph is usuallt about 5-7. it also absobs fatty acids and glycerol\n\naddtional information: the ileum is covered in millions of villi, finger like projection that increase the surface area and aid the absorption process. \n\nalso the nutrients (sugars and amino acids) absorbed by the ileum are transported to the liver via the hepatic portal vein.\n\nAND it has aresa of lymphoid tissue which are part of the immune sysytem.\n\ni nevr said that the ileum produced these enzymes merely that they were present in the ileum, but nice one for pointing this out, it might have sounded confusing. these enzymes are present in the cytoplasm of the columnar epitheliel cells that line the gut (these are the ones with loads of villi on them)\n\nall hai the ileum

It produces enzymes that are released into the small intestine to help with digestion. It also contains clusters of cells called islets. The cells in these islets produce hormones such as insulin and glucagon, which help control the level of glucose (a type of sugar) in the blood.

Mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, colon, rectum, anus are the parts the food or the waste from food travel through.  Side line contributors are glands such as\nsaliva glands, liver, gall bladder, pancreas.

The short answer is the small intestine. The small intesting does the primary job of absorption, absorbing the nutrients (i.e., proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins [water and fat soluble], water and electrolytes. However, the large intestine does absorb the remaining additional water, vitamin B, and some electrolytes.\n\nLike I said, that is the short answer...if you need additional information let me know!

Yes, yes and yes\n\nAll of it is refracted, some is absorbed (not a lot) and some is transmitted (most)

"...gastric emptying, ... following a meal usually takes between 2 and 6 hours."  "Digestion and absorption of nutrients within the small intestine are rapid with most of the carbohydrate, protein, and fat being absorbed within 30 minutes after chyme (partially digested food from the stomach) has reached the small intestine."  "the presence of unabsorbed food  in the ileum (lower part of the small intestine) may increase the amount of time material remains in the small intestine and therefore may increase nutrient absorption."  These are direct quotes from the reference source noted below.\n\nFrom this, it seems reasonable to say that food is 'fully digested' 2 1/2 to 6 1/2 hours (or more) after eating.\n\nHope this helps and good luck!

It is from a series of small blood vessels.\nYou need a map of vessels to get an accurate picture.\nThe small intestine's are microscopic.

Definitely the tongue. This is where the \n\ntastebuds are located and you can enjoy what \n\nyou are going to be digesting!

The human intestine is a necessary part of the digestive system. The human digestive system consists of the mouth, the throat (pharynx), the esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, and the large intestine. Specifically, the human intestine consists of two parts, the small intestine and the large intestine.\n\nThe small intestine is a long, narrow, coiled tube extending from the stomach to the large intestine. This is the place where most digestion and absorption of food takes place. The small intestine of a human can be as long as six to eight meters long, depending on age and size of being. So much length can be compacted into so little space because of the nature of the small intestine; it is coiled and takes up less space, while maintaining it's enormous surface area.\n\nThe large intestine is the posterior or end of the human intestine that consists of four regions the, the cecum, the colon, the rectum and the anal canal. The large intestine is wider but shorter than the small intestine. It measures approximately 1.5 meters in length and its primary function is to absorb water and electrolytes that have already passed unabsorbed through the small intestine.\n\nIn mathematics, as well as physics, the value of the whole is equal to the sum of its parts. Therefore the average length of the human intestine is equal to the length of the small intestine added to the length of the large intestine. As a result the average length of the human intestine can be anywhere from 6 to 8.5 meters in length depending on size and age of the person it occupies.

Nothing, it's your digestive system digesting your food.

drugs are absorbed by different mechanisms. such as  simple diffusion,facilitated transportation, or affecting specialzed receptors, finally they go to blood and distribute in different body parts

To make sure the gut has as much surface area as possible for the absorption of nutrients, it is:\n- very long,\n- its internal surface is folded, &\n- the internal surface is covered in finger-like projections called villi. On its own, one of these projections is called a villus.

simple colunar epithelium i guess. single layer is to provide absorption and secretion.

It goes into the small intestines which absorbs it into the bloodstream

No, you actually get better digestion of the vitamin so you get better absorption.

What is not stored for energy (fat) or burned off goes through the large intestine(colon) and expelled. Apparentley there is some residue left in the colon which can be removed through high intake of water and fibre and/or colon cleansing.

Roughage material containing fibre... mostly in salad veggies like cucumber. Helps in bowel movement and consequently in digestion.\n\n10 points pretty please!!!
