Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The small intestine absorbs most of the nutrients in your food, and your circulatory system passes them on to other parts of your body to store or use. Special cells help absorbed nutrients cross the intestinal lining into your bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the small intestine, absorption occurs through the lumenal face of the mucosa, which is covered with finger-like projections called villi. Each villus is bordered by several pouches or invaginations called crypts. On the average, each villus is surrounded by eight crypts.
