How do small food molecules such as glucose get from your alimentary canal to our cells?

Small food molecules like glucose are absorbed through the walls of the alimentary canal, primarily in the small intestine. Once absorbed, glucose enters the bloodstream and is transported to cells throughout the body. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, facilitates the uptake of glucose by cells, where it is utilized for energy or stored for later use. This process ensures that cells receive the necessary nutrients to function effectively.
