Krel:

Most absorption of food occurs in the: veins and arteries stomach small intestine large intestine

jas2024:

Okay do you know the process of the digestive system and the functions ?

Krel:

yes, but I'm pretty sure food absorption occurs in all of the above, I tried all of them and it was wrong.

jas2024:

Okay veins and arteries deal with blood so that's out .

Krel:

So that just leaves the stomach, the large intestine and the small intestine.

jas2024:

The stomach holds the food and breaks it down but does not absorb it .

jas2024:

The small intestine obtains the liquids and nutrients from the food.

Krel:

So the small intestine and the large intestine both absorb food, but which absorbs the most?

jas2024:

The large intestine carries the waste left from the food.

jas2024:

unneeded waste

Krel:

so that leaves the small intestine!!

Krel:

thank you!!

jas2024:

No problem .
