The small intestine is the main organ responsible for absorbing nutrients from digested food. It consists of three parts: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, with the jejunum being where most absorption occurs. The structure of the small intestine, including villi and microvilli, increases its surface area to maximize nutrient absorption.
