Digestion is a necessary part of the absorption process. Food first enters the stomach after you chew and swallow it. The stomach stores the food and liquid you swallow and mixes it with digestive juices that the stomach makes.
Although, it is much longer than the large intestine, it has a much narrower diameter, thus accounting for its name. The majority of food digestion and nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine. The small intestine receives partially digested food from your stomach.At the point when food reaches the duodenum of the small intestine, it has been mixed with stomach acid and manually broken up by the contraction of the stomach walls.ithin the microvilli of the small intestine are networks of capillaries and lymph vessels called lacteals. Capillaries are the smallest components of your blood vessels, the site at which your blood exchanges nutrients, oxygen and waste products with your bodyâs tissues.
