Detailed explanation-1: -The small intestine carries out most of the digestive process, absorbing almost all of the nutrients you get from foods into your bloodstream. The walls of the small intestine make digestive juices, or enzymes, that work together with enzymes from the liver and pancreas to do this.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The small intestine is so long because it needs a maximum amount of surface area to increase digestion and nutrient absorption. The small intestine is where your body breaks down food and takes up all the possible nutrients from it before discarding the rest as waste.
Detailed explanation-3: -The small intestine has three parts: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. It helps to further digest food coming from the stomach. It absorbs nutrients (vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and water from food so they can be used by the body.
Detailed explanation-4: -The small intestine is actually the longest segment of the gastrointestinal tract-the long, continuous pathway that food travels through your digestive system. In the small intestine, food is broken down into liquid and most of its nutrients are absorbed. The waste is passed on to the large intestine.
