Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The small intestine is primarily responsible for the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Nutrients absorbed in the small intestine are transported to the liver via the hepatic portal vein for processing. The majority of digestion occurs in the small intestine, not the minority, and while some water is absorbed in the small intestine, the primary site for water reabsorption is the large intestine, not the small intestine.
