Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The small intestine is the primary site for nutrient absorption. Its large surface area and villi allow for efficient absorption of nutrients from food. The large intestine primarily absorbs water and electrolytes, while the pancreas and liver play roles in digestion and metabolism of nutrients but do not directly absorb them. The stomach primarily serves to break down food into smaller pieces and begin the process of digestion.
