During digestion and absorption in human, water-soluble vitamins are absorbed in ____.

  • A
    stomach
  • B
    lacteals in the villi
  • Correct answer
    C
    blood capillaries in the villi.
  • D
    large intestine

Solution

Water-soluble vitamins, such as Vitamin B complex and Vitamin C, are absorbed directly into the blood capillaries present in the intestinal villi.

Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are incorporated into micelles, then into chylomicrons, and are absorbed into the lacteals (lymphatic vessels) in the villi.

Answer: blood capillaries in the villi.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
