Once food passes out of the stomach, enzymes get to work on the nutrients in the small intestine, breaking them into smaller products. It is also in the small intestine where substances are absorbed into the bloodstream. This absorption takes place in tiny, finger-like structures called villi. These line the walls of the intestine, and are ideal for the diffusion and active transport of molecules.
