Getting food to body cells
{"Image DocumentName": "Getting food to body cells", "Image ImageDescription": "We\u2019ve already learned that your bloodstream takes oxygen from your lungs, and that it carries food particles from your digestive system. The transfer of food from the digestive system to the circulatory system takes place in the inner lining of the small intestine. Covering the surface of this lining are millions of tiny, fingerlike projections called villi (singular villus). Each villus contains a network of capillaries. Dissolved food particles pass from the intestine into the capillaries by a process called absorption. The food particles are now small enough to enter your body\u2019s cells to supply them with the food they need.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
