This is a reference work that is used by disability examiners and administrative law judges, the two types of decision-makers who decide the outcome of title II benefits (social security disability) and title 16 benefits (SSI disability claims).
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.
The digestion process begins in your mouth, where saliva starts breaking down your food. From there your food travels to your stomach, where stomach acid, primarily hydrochloric acid (HCL), begins breaking down proteins. Finally, the majority of digestive enzymes are made by the pancreas. When you eat, the pancreas receives a hormonal signal to release pancreatic juice into the small intestine. Pancreatic juice contains several digestive enzymes, as well as bicarbonate to neutralize the acid from your stomach. The enzymes work in the small intestine to break down the food so it can be absorbed.
