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.
