When you eat a cheeseburger, your digestive ____ digests the cheeseburger.
A
glands
B
organ
C
system
D
tissue
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The small intestine is the region where the digested cheeseburger is absorbed. Most absorption happens in the ileum where the remaining nutrients are absorbed before moving into the large intestine. This is the longest part of the small intestine and is between 2-4 meters long.

Detailed explanation-2: -The small intestine absorbs most of the nutrients in your food, and your circulatory system passes them on to other parts of your body to store or use. Special cells help absorbed nutrients cross the intestinal lining into your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-3: -We swallow and the food travels down the esophagus and into the stomach. In the stomach, strong gastric juices and enzymes are released, which begin the breakdown of proteins and fats, which would be the hamburger meat. The partially digested food then moves into the first segment of the small intestine, the duodenum.

Detailed explanation-4: -The stomach would take in the hamburger from the esophagus (gullet or food pipe), mixes it, breaks it down, and then passes it on to the small intestine in small portions. The small intestine is the part of the intestines where 90% of the digestion and absorption of the hamburger would occur.
