Step-by-step explanation: The food that we eat is absorbed by the body to get energy. Food consists of nutrient that is absorbed to get energy for performing the various function of the body.
The food that is eaten follows a particular path to be absorbed by the body. It travels through the mouth and via esophagus to the stomach.
The food is broken down into small particles to be absorbed by the small intestine and large intestine. The macro and micro nutrients are absorbed by the small intestine and a small portion of it is absorbed by the large intestine.
So, if a patient is having difficulty in absorbing nutrients this indicates that he is having problem in intestines.
