Yes, a semipermeable membrane selectively allows chemicals to be absorbed into the body. Epithelial tissue covers all parts of the body that has contact to the the outside environment including the gastric tract. One prime example of semipermeable epithelial tissue of the body is the tissue of the intestines which has folds exactly for the purpose of absorbing food.
