where does most absorption occur in the small intestine
Small intestine Absorption of the majority of nutrients takes place in the jejunum, with the following notable exceptions:
Vein Veins are less muscular than arteries and are often closer to the skin. There are valves in most veins to prevent backflow.
Small intestine The three major classes of nutrients that undergo digestion are proteins, lipids (fats) and carbohydrates:
Cerebrum With the assistance of the cerebellum, the cerebrum controls all voluntary actions in the body.
Cerebellar tentorium It covers the top of the cerebellum, and supports the occipital lobes of the brain.
Abdominal examination On light palpation, the examiner tests for any palpable mass, rigidity, or pain.
