Comparing the role of the bloodstream and the lymphatic system in digestion and absorption Group of answer choices: 1) fat-soluble nutrients are first absorbed into the lymph and then delivered to the bloodstream while water soluble nutrients are absorbed directly into the bloodstream 2) the lymph is used to absorb from the small intestine and the blood absorbs nutrients from the large instestine 3) nutrients in the blood are called the bolus while nutrients in the lymph are called chyme 4) the blood digests nutrients while the lymph delivers them to the body cells
Sri K.
All of the following about how nutrients are absorbed from the small intestine EXCEPT which statement? All digested fat-soluble nutrients enter the lymphatic system after absorption. All digested water-soluble nutrients enter the portal vein after absorption. Digested nutrients entering the lymphatic system go directly to the liver. After digested nutrients are processed in the liver, they enter the hepatic vein. Digested nutrients entering the portal vein go directly to the liver. Feedback All of the following are true about carbohydrate digestion and absorption EXCEPT which statement? The absorbed monosaccharides enter the portal vein and travel to the liver. Carbohydrates are digested into monosaccharides. The absorbed monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose. Glucose can either be stored in the liver or sent out through the portal vein to the heart. Replay Submit For Grading
