Food digestion and nutrient absorption take place primarily in the small intestine, according to eMedicineHealth. Nutrient absorption is facilitated by villi and microvilli, fingerlike projections from the intestinal wall that serve to increase the surface area of the intestine so that nutrients can be fully absorbed.
The SMALL INTESTINE is where most all absorption of digested food takes place. The first 12 of the Small Intestine is Duodenum, where fat digestion (emulsified) takes place; bile transported from the Gall Bladder (associated with Liver) through the COMMON BILE DUCT to Duodenum. Bile is important in fat digestion.
