Absorption in physiology describes the process by which fluids, nutrients, or other substances are taken up by the body’s tissues. After digestion, nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream and lymphatic system primarily through the small intestine, especially the jejunum and ileum. The lining of the small intestine contains numerous finger-like projections called villi, which increase surface area and enhance absorption efficiency. Alcohol, however, can be absorbed directly from the stomach.
