It is lined with tiny finger-like projections called villi that increase the surface area for absorption. The small intestine absorbs nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals from the digested food into the bloodstream to be transported to cells throughout the body for energy, growth, and repair.
