KEY CONCEPT Nutrients are absorbed and solid wastes eliminated after digestion.

Most absorption of nutrients occurs in the small intestine. Three structures in the small intestine help absorb nutrients. folded lining: adds surface area, slows food villi: absorb nutrients microvilli: cover villi, absorb nutrients

Duodenum-absorbs simple sugars, some amino acids, minerals Jejunum-absorbs glucose, some amino acids, vit. C, B some water ileum absorbs fat-soluble vit. B12, fatty acids, cholesterol, some water. Nutrients enter the circulatory or lymphatic systems. Liver stores excess glucose for future use. liver small intestine

The colon helps to maintain the body’s fluid balance. Water is absorbed and solid wastes are eliminated from the large intestine. The colon helps to maintain the body’s fluid balance. Undigested material forms the solid feces. stored in rectum eliminated through anus large intestine rectum/anus

The large intestine contains many bacteria. some synthesize important vitamins Some, like E. coli, can cause illness
