Fimores
Answer
The nutrients from Cameron's meal are absorbed through the intestinal wall via a process called "diffusion." This is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The small intestine has tiny finger-like projections called "villi" and "microvilli" that increase the surface area for absorption. Nutrients are transported across the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream, where they are carried to the liver and then to the rest of the body.
