Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The lowest part of your small intestine is the ileum. This is where the final parts of digestive absorption take place.
Detailed explanation-2: -Digestion is completed in the ileum region of the small intestine. The last digestive enzymes are released in the small intestine hence digestion is completed here only because no digestion can occur without the help of enzymes catalyzing the reaction.
Detailed explanation-3: -After you eat, it takes about six to eight hours for food to pass through your stomach and small intestine. Food then enters your large intestine (colon) for further digestion, absorption of water and, finally, elimination of undigested food.
