Absorption mainly occurs in the small intestine, but a portion of it is also carried out in the stomach and the large intestine. Absorption can take place in two stages in the small intestine. These are called the luminal and membranous stages.
However, most of the chemical digestive processes occur in the stomach and small intestine-where the partly-digested materials are subjected to gastric juices, pancreatic juice, succus entericus and so on. Absorption is the uptake of fluids or other substances by the tissues of the body.
