==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
We get the [[nutrient]]s from our food by '''absorbing nutrients''' through the wall of the [[Small Intestine|small intestine]].
===About Absorbing Nutrients===
: The [[Small Intestine|small intestine]] is [[Adaptation|adapted]] to be long to have a large [[Surface Area|surface area]] for [[Absorb (biology)|absorption]].
: The [[Small Intestine|small intestine]] has villi to increase the [[Surface Area|surface area]] for [[Absorb (biology)|absorption]].
: The [[villi]] have a thin wall for quicker [[Absorb (biology)|absorption]].
: The [[villi]] have a good [[blood]] supply to allow [[Absorb (biology)|absorption]] into the [[blood]].
