The intestines remove all the nutrients from our food and they are absorbed through the intestinal walls.
Food is broken down or digested in the stomach but the nutrients are not absorbed in the stomach. Nutrients from digested food are primarily absorbed in the small intestine.
Food must be absorbed so the body can get all the nutrients from the food.
The nutrients of food are absorbed at the intestine from where they reach the organs and tissues through the circulatory system.
The lumen is the cavity where digested food passes through and from where nutrients are absorbed, in the small intestine.

Animals absorb nutrients through their digestive system, where food is broken down by enzymes and absorbed in the intestines. Water is absorbed primarily in the colon. Both nutrients and water are absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to cells where they are used for various functions in the body.
The majority of nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine, particularly in the duodenum and jejunum. This is where nutrients from food are broken down and then transported into the bloodstream for distribution to the body's cells.
Nutrients are absorbed from the small intestine the blood (red) vessel travel through.
The stomach works by breaking down food with stomach acid and enzymes. The nutrients are then absorbed through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream.
Food in grasshoppers is digested in the midgut, where enzymes break down the food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed. The nutrients are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the midgut and transported to the rest of the body for energy and growth.
Small intestine is where 90% of nutrients are absorbed.
