The system in the body that absorbs nutrients is the digestive system. Within the digestive system is the small intestine. When food passes through the small intestine, villi, absorb all of the nutrients the body needs from the food. Villi are small fingerlike projections in the small intestine that increase surface area and "reach" out to the food and absorb its nutrients. So, to answer your question, villi that are in the small intestine within the digestive system absorb what nutrients our body needs.
