The site of absorption of digested food primarily occurs in the small intestine, particularly in the jejunum and ileum sections. The inner walls of the small intestine are lined with villi and microvilli, which increase the surface area for nutrient absorption. Here, nutrients such as amino acids, simple sugars, and fatty acids are absorbed into the bloodstream and lymphatic system for distribution throughout the body.
