It is true that once glucose, galactose, and fructose enter the absorptive cells, they are transported to the portal vein and then to the liver.

Absorptive cells are also known as enterocytes. These cells line the lumen of the small intestine and the colon. They are meant to absorb the nutrients from the digested food inside the lumen of intestine. Apart from absorption, they also transport the nutrients across the membrane.

Portal vein is the blood vessel that transports blood from the GI tract, pancreas, gall bladder and spleen into the liver. This blood vessels belongs to the portal venous system. Its location is the upper right quadrant of the abdomen.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

The one of best example would be appendix in humans.

Explanation:

In the past, the appendix may have helped in the digestion of the plants by producing mucus and prevent any type of infection. Plants with a high content of cellulose are digested with the help of the appendix as reported.

It is not a part of the human digestive system and considers as a vestigial organ. Vestigial organs are the organs that are present in an organism with no particular function and their removal will not lead to any harm. Humans do not need it because our digestive system is more efficient and works better in the first stages of digestion than they used to.

Thus, the correct answer is - appendix in humans.
