Assimilation of food Nutrition which are absorbed ; are assimilated in diffrent parts of body.

Amino acids which have come to liver go to different parts of body with blood circulations.Each organ absorbs some amino acid as per its requirements and changes it into protoplasm.If amino acids are morethan requirement, chemical reaction takes place in the liver and amino acidsare converted into glucose and ammonia.Ammonia is then converted into urea {ornithine cycle} in liver, which goesto the kidneys with blood circulation and excreted from body.excess amount of glucose is also stored in the liver as glycogen when required by the body it is converted into glucose.F A T is also stored in the liver or adipose tissueand bones and if required can be oxidized to yeild energy. Absorption of digested Food

Absorption in small intestine: Most of the digested food stuffs are absorbed in small intestine.To increse the absorptive surface area,large number of villi are found in small intestine.carbohydrates after convertion into glucose,are absorbed by villi. Glucose reachesthe liver by hepatic portal vein and is stored as glycogen. proteins after they arebroken into amino acidby enzymes are absorbed into the bloodand conveyed to the liver .Fatty acids and glycerols are also absorbed by lacteals villiof the small intestine and are then combined to form saturated fats. Absorption in large intestine: No digested food stuff is absorbed in large intestine.Though its mucus membrane is capable of absorbing glucose and salts but only water is absorbed here.
