After leaving the gut, the liver is the first tissue to use dietary glucose. In the liver, glucose can be converted to glycogen to be stored or distributed through out the body for energy. It can also be converted to fatty acids. The conversion of glucose to fatty acids usually only happens if energy intake has exceeds energy expenditure.

Where does chyme go after the pyloric valve opens?
Chyme passes through the pyloric valve from the stomach into the small intestine. Once in the small intestine, nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream while waste products continue through the large intestine for further processing and removal from the body.
Where are digested foods absorbed?
Digested foods are absorbed primarily in the small intestine. The inner surface of the small intestine is lined with villi and microvilli, which increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream.
How come glucose can get through cell wall of the small intestine and starch can't?
Glucose is a simple sugar that can be directly absorbed by the cells lining the small intestine through specialized transport proteins. Starch, on the other hand, is a complex carbohydrate made up of multiple glucose units linked together. The digestive enzymes in the small intestine break down starch into individual glucose molecules before they can be absorbed.
Where does the chyme go?
Chyme is the partially digested food mixture that passes from the stomach to the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients. From the small intestine, the remains of the chyme continue through the large intestine where water is absorbed and waste products are formed before being excreted from the body.
Which food goes from mouth to stomach?
It enters the duodenum, then jejunum, and then ileum of the small intestine. It is in the small intestine that nutrients are absorbed.
Where does it go after it leaves the small intestine?
large intestine
When blood leaves small intestine where does it go?
To the liver.
When food leaves the stomach is it completely digested?
No, it still has to go through the small intestine, and the large intestine.
When nutrients leave the stomach in what order do they move through the small intestine?
When food leaves the stomach it first goes through the small intestine. It goes in the same order as it leaves the stomach. The first part of the small intestine is called the duodenum. It changes the digestive fluid from the acidic fluid of the stomach to alkaline. After that it goes through the rest of the small intestine. Nutrients that have become small enough are absorbed by the small intestine through small projections or villi. Food that leaves the small intestine goes into the large intestine. There bacteria digests part of it and makes part of it available for the human. The food part then passes through the very thin large intestine wall. The food digested in the small and large intestines go from there to the liver.
Where does your food go after your large intestine?
Small intestine.
If the food passing in stomach does the food go first in large intestine or in small intestine?
The order is as follows: Stomach, small intestine, large intestine.
How long can small and large intestine go if seen together?
HOW LONG IS AN ADULTS SMALL INTESTINE?
Where are proteins absorbed?
Enzymes, Glucose and The Protein work together to enter the body then go through the small intestine and rubbing onto the villi
Where does chyme go after the pyloric valve opens?
Chyme passes through the pyloric valve from the stomach into the small intestine. Once in the small intestine, nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream while waste products continue through the large intestine for further processing and removal from the body.
Where does the partly-digested food in liquid form go after it leaves the stomach?
small intestine
Where does the liquid that leaves the stomach go?
Once it leaves the stomach, the partially digested contents (technical term - "chyme") enter the small intestine at the duodenum. As the chyme passes through the small intestine, further digestion takes place, as well as the absorption of useful nutrients.
Were does blood go to get nutrients?
the nutrients enter the blood in the small intestine. The lining of the small intestine is called the villi, that is were the blood is absorbed into the bloodstream
