These things on the small intestine wall look like fingers called villa. The food(after it's been broken up into small enough pieces), are able to pass through the villa into the inside of it where it gets absorbed into the blood stream. Then the food/drugs & medicine/liquids/etc are transported to the parts of the body that need fuel, etc.

What are the three functions of the small intestine?
The three parts of the small intestine are:duodenum- which is the first part of the small intestine where food is being completed with chemical breakdown.jejunum- which is the middle part of the small intestine - specializes in absorbing all the nutrients (except fat) into the body.ileum- which is the last part where the small intestine meets the large intestine... also where alot of bacteria sits and eats on the undigested food.
What is the large intestine and it's function?
The large intestine, commonly known as the "colon", is one of the last stops in the digestive tract. It is primarily responsible for converting partially digested food into waste that can be expelled from the body. The colon is home to millions of bacteria that finish breaking down food particles that have already been processed by the small intestine, and it is also responsible for absorbing water and vitamin K.
Which structure is responsible for the absortion of nutrients from food?
The small intestine- micro-villi specifically in the small intestine. The micro-villi increases the surface area of the small intestine. which allows more food particles to enter the cells of the small intestine to digest.
What a long folded tube inside the body attached to the stomach where nutrients in the food are absorbed?
Small intestine is where 90% of nutrients are absorbed.
What does the jejunum digest?
the portion of the mammalian small intestine that follows the duodenum and precedes the ileum that is the function of absorbing digested food
