The majority of the absorption occurs in the small intestines. The food we eat is divided into various categories, such as fat, protein, carbohydrates, etc. The majority of these foods are broken down and absorbed at the small intestine. The villi part of the small intestine absorb the fats while the microvilli part absorb the nutrients.
