Assimilation
The food that is digested is absorbed into the blood and lymphatic systems. The lymphatic system carries the digested fats as fatty acids and glycerol into the blood vessel going into the heart. The digested food in the blood stream reaches the liver. Here, the excess glucose is stored as glycogen to be used in times of need. The cells take the glucose they need from the blood directly for respiration. Cholesterol is manufactured from some fatty acids. The amino acids are used to form required proteins. Excess amino acids are deaminated. This process produces ammonia as waste. This ammonia is converted into the less harmful urea. The latter is then transported through the blood stream to the kidney from where it is excreted as urine.
