Much of the nutrients are absorbed by the small intestine, where the surface area is minimized by the villi, which absorbs the "soup" of food that has been digested by the duodenum, the stomach, and the mouth. The soup is absorbed by diffusion and reaches either the lacteal or capillaries. Lacteal carries fat, and blood vessels carries everything else such as glucose.
The absorbed nutrients can now be used by the body.
