Absorption takes place through the small intestine where nutrients like glucose, amino acids, fatty acids and glycerol are absorbed into the bloodstream. Fatty acids and glycerol combine to form fat molecules that enter lymph vessels for transport. The small intestine plays a key role in breaking down food and absorbing nutrients into blood circulation for use by cells in the body.
