How does the pressure of these structures help with absorption digested food?
The pressure of the structures in the digestive system does not directly aid in the absorption of digested food. Absorption primarily occurs through passive diffusion and active transport across the intestinal villi and microvilli into the bloodstream. The main factors facilitating absorption are the large surface area of the small intestine, the presence of digestive enzymes, and the concentration gradients of nutrients.
