Nutrition
Food must be absorbed so the body can get all the nutrients from the food.
AnswerSince most all nutrients that a human needs are absorbed via the digestive system. All carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are absorbed in the small intestine.AnswerThings are absorbed throughout the entire system, with the exception of the esophagus. Some glucose, for example, can be absorbed in the mouth. Water, alcohol, and some nutrients are absorbed in the stomach. Most nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine. Water and some minerals and vitamins are absorbed in the colon. Most vitamin K is produced by bacteria in the colon and absorbed there.
Nutrients are found throughout the digestive system. Most nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine.

via the hepatatic portal system (all absorbed nutrients except triglicerides)or via the lymphatic vessels to the blood vascular system and then to the liver (triglicerides)
All of the nutrients absorbed by the small intestine (including amino acids and glucose) travel through the hepatic portal vein to the liver.
All nutrients we have taken are absorbed into the blood in the small intestine. The excess are stored in the liver from where if required is again absorbed into the blood.
