The primary site of nutrient absorption is the small intestine. It is equipped with specialized structures called villi and microvilli that increase the surface area for efficient absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream.
The small intestine is to nutrient absorption as the blood is to nutrient distribution.
The major site of nutrient absorption is the small intestine.
The organ you are referring to is called the small intestine.

Almost all absorption of nutrients occurs in the small intestine. The small intestine is divided into three parts: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, where various enzymes and bile aid in the breakdown of food. The walls of the small intestine are lined with villi and microvilli, which increase the surface area for maximum nutrient absorption into the bloodstream. While some absorption occurs in the stomach and large intestine, the small intestine is the primary site for nutrient uptake.
Mainly in the small intestine, but nutrient absorption also occurs in the rumen and omasum.
No, the mouth is not the primary site of absorption in the digestive system. While some substances, like certain medications and glucose, can be absorbed through the mucous membranes of the mouth, the primary absorption of nutrients occurs in the small intestine. The small intestine is specifically adapted for this function, with its large surface area and specialized cells for nutrient uptake.
