absorbs the nutrients, and distributes them to cells during assimilation. Absorption refers the
flow of digested food from the digestive system into the blood system for movement around the
body. And assimilation gets the nutrients from your food to your cells where they are used for
growth and repair of the all parts of the body. This occurs in the small intestine, in particular the
jejunum and ileum
