Most of the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream takes place in large intestine true or false

1 answer

False. Most of the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream takes place in the small intestine, not the large intestine. The small intestine, particularly the duodenum and jejunum, is where the majority of nutrient absorption occurs, including carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The large intestine primarily absorbs water and electrolytes, as well as some vitamins produced by gut bacteria.
