How does your small intestine get nutrients to your cells?
The lumen of the small intestine is lined with microvilli, which are small hair-like tentacles that protrude from the lumenal surface. When nutrients get "trapped" in these microvilli while passing through the small intestine, they diffuse into the blood stream through various transporter mechanisms and elements. This is one of the reasons why your small intestine is so long, so that all the nutrients can be absorbed before passing into the large intestine where most of the water gets resorbed to produce fecal matter.
