<P> The lining of the jejunum is specialized for the absorption , by enterocytes , of small nutrient particles which have been previously digested by enzymes in the duodenum . Once absorbed , nutrients ( with the exception of fat , which goes to the lymph ) pass from the enterocytes into the enterohepatic circulation and enter the liver via the hepatic portal vein , where the blood is processed . The jejunum is involved in magnesium absorption . </P>
