Most food absorption takes place in the small intestine. Of the three sections of the small intestine, the duodenum and jejunum absorb the most nutrients. Some nutrients are absorbed in the stomach, but nutrients are absorbed mainly in the small intestine, where the small, soluble molecules are diffused or actively transported from the ileum/duodenum, into the capillaries on the other side of the intestine.
