The small intestine absorbs digested food. It is the longest part of the digestive system and is responsible for breaking down food further and absorbing nutrients into the bloodstream. The inner lining of the small intestine contains numerous tiny finger-like projections called villi, which increase the surface area for absorption. These villi are covered with microvilli, which further enhance absorption. The absorbed nutrients are then transported to the bloodstream and distributed to the body's cells for energy and other functions.
