Detailed explanation-1: -The majority of chemical digestion occurs in the small intestine. Digested chyme from the stomach passes through the pylorus and into the duodenum. Here, chyme will mix with secretions from both the pancreas and the duodenum.
Detailed explanation-2: -The three lipases responsible for lipid digestion are lingual lipase, gastric lipase, and pancreatic lipase. However, because the pancreas is the only consequential source of lipase, virtually all lipid digestion occurs in the small intestine.
Detailed explanation-3: -The duodenum is the first section of the small intestine. It is the site of the most digestion in the small intestine (and the digestive tract in general) because pancreatic enzymes and bile are released into its lumen. These enzymes break down proteins and carbohydrates, while the bile helps to digest lipids and fats.
Detailed explanation-4: -The pancreas delivers the digestive juice to the small intestine through small tubes called ducts. Liver. Your liver makes a digestive juice called bile that helps digest fats and some vitamins. Bile ducts carry bile from your liver to your gallbladder for storage, or to the small intestine for use.
