The small intestine is in the abdomen between the stomach and the large intestine.
In your stomach. In mouth, stomach and small intestine.
The stomach precedes the small intestine in the digestive system. After food is swallowed, it enters the stomach where it is further broken down before passing into the small intestine for absorption of nutrients.
The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine, located directly after the stomach. It plays a crucial role in digestion by receiving partially digested food from the stomach and mixing it with digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver.
The stomach is above the intestine in the human body. Food travels from the stomach to the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.

The first part of the small intestine where bile and enzymes mix with food from the stomach is the duodenum. This process is crucial for further digestion and nutrient absorption in the body.
The stomach contains sections called the body, the pylorus, and the fundus. The body is the central part of the stomach where most digestion occurs, the fundus is the upper portion that stores gas and food, and the pylorus is the lower section that regulates the passage of food into the small intestine. These sections work together to facilitate digestion and the movement of food through the gastrointestinal tract.
