Nutrients are primarily digested and absorbed in the small intestine. After food is broken down in the stomach, it passes into the small intestine, where enzymes and bile aid in further digestion. The walls of the small intestine have tiny, finger-like projections called villi, which increase the surface area for absorption and allow nutrients to enter the bloodstream. This process ensures that essential nutrients, such as amino acids, sugars, and fatty acids, are effectively absorbed into the blood for distribution throughout the body.
