Where does blood passes through to absorb nutrients for the body during circulation?
Blood absorbs nutrients primarily in the small intestine, where digested food is broken down into nutrients. The walls of the small intestine contain tiny villi and microvilli that increase the surface area for absorption. From there, the absorbed nutrients enter the bloodstream through capillaries and are transported to various tissues and organs throughout the body for use.
