Partially digested food enters the small intestine in liquid form where it is turned into substances that can be used by cells. The blood vessels along the small intestine walls absorb these substances and blood cells are then able to transport these to the body's cells and tissues.he relationship between the circulatory and digestive system is mainly basic-without one, the other cannot function properly. The blood absorbs (takes in) nutrients in the small intestine. The blood help transport these nutrients so that it can be used by the cell tissues in the body.
Pancreas and Fat Digestion. The pancreas is a leaf-shaped organ that lies below the stomach. It secretes juices containing enzymes that are capable of digesting all major types of food -- carbohydrates, fats and proteins.The pancreas is the first organ to begin digesting fats.he deep spaces between the villi are called crypts, which secrete mucus, bicarbonate and water. In addition to these secretions, the cells of the small intestine also produce hormones, like secretin and cholecystokinin, which stimulate the other organs to release their digestive juices.
