Most nutrients in the body are absorbed in the small intestine. This organ is lined with villi and microvilli, which increase the surface area for absorption, allowing for efficient uptake of nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. The small intestine is divided into three sections: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, each playing a role in the digestion and absorption process.
