Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Digestion ends in the small intestine of the human body . The digestive process starts in the mouth and finishes in the small intestine. The small intestine, which has three parts called the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, uses bile from the liver and enzymes secreted by the pancreas to break down food.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ileum is the final portion of the small intestine, measuring around 3 meters, and ends at the cecum. It absorbs any final nutrients, with major absorptive products being vitamin B12 and bile acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Digestion begins in the mouth with chewing and ends in the small intestine. As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules.
