Which of the following organs is where most nutrients are absorbed?

1 answer

Most nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine. The small intestine is a long, coiled tube where the majority of digestion and nutrient absorption takes place. It consists of three parts: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The jejunum and ileum, in particular, are responsible for the absorption of nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals into the bloodstream.
