Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, and push the mixture forward for further digestion. The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-2: -The exocrine glands of the pancreas produce enzymes essential to digestion. Enzymes include trypsin, chymotrypsin, amylase, and lipase. Trypsin and chymotrypsin are involved in digesting proteins [1]. Amylase helps in the digestion of carbohydrate, and lipase works to break down fats.

Detailed explanation-3: -A few substances are absorbed in the stomach and large intestine. For example, water is absorbed in both of these organs, and some minerals and vitamins are also absorbed in the large intestine. However, about 95 percent of nutrient molecules are absorbed in the small intestine.
