Once the food has reached the stomach and is worked on by enzymes to break them down into absorbable forms of proteins and carbohydrates and other nutrients the 'food' is now passed into the small intestine from where it is absorbed accross the small intestine lining through the cells into the blood and taken round the body. On its way round the body, the nutrients in the blood are absorbed into the places where they are needed.
To sum this up, the body absorbs the nutrients into the blood through capillaries in the intestines.
