3.4 Absorption, Assimilasion and Defecation SCIENCE FORM 2

The document discusses the processes of absorption, assimilation, and defecation in the human digestive system. It defines villi as structures found on the small intestine wall that help absorption. Factors like more blood vessels and a thin villus wall increase absorption rates. The process of eliminating waste from the body is called defecation. Water is absorbed in the small intestine. The large intestine stores indigestible materials and absorbs water from them. Assimilation is defined as the distribution of digested materials for use by body cells. Fatty acids and glucose are absorbed via blood capillaries in the villi, while fatty acids and glycerol enter the lacteals. Fibre, starch, waste products and und
