The procces is called absorption.
If you want to get technical, however, the name of the process depends on what the nutirent being absorbed is. For instance sodium is absorbed using a protein carrier, glucose uses that same carrier but for glucose it is called a symporter because it takes a "free" ride with sodium.
Once the nutirents cross the intestinal wall they are sent to the mesenteric veins which take them to the liver and then to the circulation. If the absorbed nutrient is a big fat molecule then it takes a different path; it is picked up the the lacteals and sent directly to the circulation, thus bypassing the liver.
