Absorption of The Products of Digestion

The document discusses the absorption of nutrients in the small intestine. It explains that absorption is the process where end products of digestion are absorbed into the bloodstream through the small intestine wall. The small intestine wall is covered with villi, which are small projections that increase the surface area for absorption. Most nutrient end products are absorbed in the small intestine by the villi.
