Ingested food is diffused mainly in the small and large intestine. The small intestine is the big player which has fields of finger-like projections called villi which are composed of cells and on each of those cells they have microvilli which are protrusions of cell membrane. This increases the surface area tremendously to increase the amount of nutrients diffused.
