The small intestine or small bowel is the part of the gastrointestinal tract between the stomach and the large intestine, and is where most of the digestion and absorption of food takes place. The small intestine has three distinct regions â the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The duodenum receives bile and pancreatic juice through the pancreatic duct, controlled by the sphincter of Oddi. The primary function of the small intestine is the absorption of nutrients and minerals from food. This article is primarily about the human gastrointestinal tract. The information about its processes is directly applicable to most placental mammals.
  In fact, almost all nutrients are absorbed outside the stomach. The stomach functions mostly in the preparation of eaten food for absorption, rather than in the absorpti â¦ on itself. Some notable exceptions to this rule: water, alcohol, and aspirin are all absorbed in the stomach.  Almost all nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine.he stomach is actually a precursor to the bloodstream. Nutrients are are broken down in the stomach, most are then sent to the intestines to be broken down further, and absor â¦ bed into the bloodstream and lymphatic systems.
