Study Notes

Small Intestine

Food travels from the stomach to the small intestine in small amounts.
The small intestine is a long and winding tube.
Special juices within the small intestine continue the process of breaking down food.
The small intestine is covered with thousands of tiny finger-like projections called villi, which increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients.
Nutrients are absorbed from the food by the villi and enter the bloodstream.
The nutrients are then carried throughout the body to cells.
