After food passes through the stomach to the small intestines, it is turned into energy for the body to use. Absorption is made possible by the villi, small bristle-like protrusions in the mucosa. The mucosa is the moist tissue lining certain parts of the body's passages and organs. The villi act as channels through which the nutrients derived from digested foods can pass into the bloodstream and be carried to the rest of the body. The actual absorptionprocess is slightly different for each type of nutrient.
