the digestive and excretory systems tutorial the model shows how celiac disease affects the small intestine. carefully study the model, and then answer the questions that follow. celiac disease damaged small intestine lining small intestine a fold of the intestinal lining part a use the model to explain how celiac disease interrupts the normal transportation of energy and other nutrients from the digestive system to the circulatory system.
Celiac disease damages the small intestine's lining (villi). Normally, villi absorb nutrients (like energy - yielding molecules) into capillaries of the circulatory system. Damaged villi have reduced surface area, so nutrient absorption (including energy - related nutrients like glucose from digestion) is impaired. Fewer nutrients enter the bloodstream, so the circulatory system can't transport sufficient energy/nutrients to cells.

Celiac disease damages the small intestine’s villi. Normally, villi absorb digested nutrients (e.g., glucose for energy) into blood capillaries of the circulatory system. Damaged villi have less surface area, reducing nutrient absorption. Fewer nutrients enter the bloodstream, so the circulatory system can’t transport enough energy and nutrients to the body’s cells.
