Most of the nutrients from food are absorbed through the small intestines?
No it is absorbed in the large intestine through what is called Villi and then enters the circulatory system.--The small intestine doesn't absorb nutrients from blood. Rather, it's blood that obtains nutrients from the small intestine. And yes, absorption of nutrients occurs in the small intestine, whereas the large intestine functions for resorption of salts and water and removal of wastes.

Where in the digestive system is water absorbed into the bloodstream?
The small intestine must absorb massive quantities of water. A normal person or animal of similar size takes in roughly 1 to 2 liters of dietary fluid every day. On top of that, another 6 to 7 liters of fluid is received by the small intestine daily as secretions from salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, liver and the small intestine itself. By the time the ingesta enters the large intestine, approximately 80% of this fluid has been absorbed.

When nutrients leave the stomach in what order do they move through the small intestine?
When food leaves the stomach it first goes through the small intestine. It goes in the same order as it leaves the stomach. The first part of the small intestine is called the duodenum. It changes the digestive fluid from the acidic fluid of the stomach to alkaline. After that it goes through the rest of the small intestine. Nutrients that have become small enough are absorbed by the small intestine through small projections or villi. Food that leaves the small intestine goes into the large intestine. There bacteria digests part of it and makes part of it available for the human. The food part then passes through the very thin large intestine wall. The food digested in the small and large intestines go from there to the liver.
What is the role of the small intestine in the digestive system of proteins and fats?
In the small intestine, the food you eat continues being digested, and then the nutrients and proteins your body needs make their way out of the small intestine and into the rest of your body. Then the matter that is left over passes through the small intestine into the large intestine...causing you to go to the restroom.
