Another View
Contrary to what was said above, most digested molecules of food, as well as water and minerals, are absorbed through the length of the small intestine, not just the ileum. The ileum is the final section of small intestine and absorbs only vitamin B12 and bile salts. The small intestine is made up of the jejunum and ileum. The mucosa of the small intestine contains many folds that are covered with tiny hair like projections called villi. In turn, the villi are covered with microscopic projections called microvilli. These structures create a vast surface area through which nutrients can be absorbed. Specialized cells allow absorbed materials to cross the mucosa into the blood, where they are carried off in the bloodstream to other parts of the body for storage or further chemical change. This part of the process changes with different types of nutrients.
