Food moves through the long muscular tube, known as the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the small intestine, where villi play a crucial role. After digestion in the stomach, partially digested food enters the small intestine, where villi, tiny finger-like projections, increase the surface area for absorption. Nutrients from the digested food are absorbed through the villi into the bloodstream, allowing the body to utilize essential nutrients. This process is vital for nourishment and energy.
