Where does absorption primarily take place?
A
Stomach
B
Small intestine
C
Large intestine
D
Gall bladder
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The middle part of your small intestine is the jejunum. The jejunum absorbs most of your nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, minerals, proteins, and vitamins. The lowest part of your small intestine is the ileum. This is where the final parts of digestive absorption take place.

Detailed explanation-2: -Phosphate absorption occurs primarily in the small intestine and its relative efficiency is greater in the duodenum, followed by the jejunum, and then the ileum [22]. The majority of phosphate is absorbed in the jejunum due to its greater length.

Detailed explanation-3: -The small intestine has a vast interior surface area, which makes it good for absorption. This is created by the plicae circulares, which project numerous microscopic tissue structures that resemble fingers and are known as villi.
