The lumen of the small intestine is lined with microvilli, which are small hair-like tentacles that protrude from the lumenal surface. When nutrients get "trapped" in these microvilli while passing through the small intestine, they diffuse into the blood stream through various transporter mechanisms and elements. This is one of the reasons why your small intestine is so long, so that all the nutrients can be absorbed before passing into the large intestine where most of the water gets resorbed to produce fecal matter.
the small intestines can't absorb nutrients as well
through cells in the villi of the small intestine
Absorption is the process that takes nutrients through the small intestine wall. These nutrients then enter the circulatory system, which carries the nutrients to all body cells.
The small intestine- micro-villi specifically in the small intestine. The micro-villi increases the surface area of the small intestine. which allows more food particles to enter the cells of the small intestine to digest.

Ingested food is diffused mainly in the small and large intestine. The small intestine is the big player which has fields of finger-like projections called villi which are composed of cells and on each of those cells they have microvilli which are protrusions of cell membrane. This increases the surface area tremendously to increase the amount of nutrients diffused.
Small intestine, where microvilli increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients.
the nutrients enter the blood in the small intestine. The lining of the small intestine is called the villi, that is were the blood is absorbed into the bloodstream
The part of the digestive system that absorbs nutrients is the small intestines. They absorb essential nutrients from food into the blood stream.
Nutrients are primarily absorbed in the small intestine. The inner walls of the small intestine are lined with tiny, finger-like projections called villi that increase surface area for nutrient absorption. These villi contain specialized cells that transport nutrients into the bloodstream for distribution throughout the body.
