The small intestine has three parts -- duodenum, jejunum and ileum. The ileum, being the last part of the small intestine, is the section that empties chyme into the beginning of the large intestine, which is the cecum.
Chyme is released from the ileum through the ileocecal valve, a sphincter muscle, and into the cecum. I suggest you look at online or textbook illustrations of the gastrointestinal tract to see what this looks like.

The passage way through which food moves into the body?
The passage through which food moves into the body is the digestive tract, starting with the mouth where ingestion occurs, followed by the pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Once in the digestive tract, food is broken down and absorbed by the body for nourishment.
How does the large intestine differ from that of the small intestine?
The small intestine receives the stomach contents in a liquid form called effluent. Its primary function is to absorb nutrients from this liquid on its way to the large intestine. The main functions of the large intestine are to absorb water from the effluent as it passes through the large intestine, forming it into stool, and to become a "holding tank" until the stool is expelled from the body.
What is the role of the small intestine in the digestive system of proteins and fats?
In the small intestine, the food you eat continues being digested, and then the nutrients and proteins your body needs make their way out of the small intestine and into the rest of your body. Then the matter that is left over passes through the small intestine into the large intestine...causing you to go to the restroom.
In what way is the small intestine small?

What is the common passage way for food?
The common passageway for food is the digestive system, which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Food is broken down and nutrients are absorbed along this pathway before waste is eliminated from the body.
What is the correct order of food as it passes through the alimentary canal?
Which one of the following correctly represents the order in which food coming into the body passes through the structures of the digestive system? Food moves from the mouth to the pharynx, then on to the esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, and finally the large intestine.
Why do you have 2 intestines?
You have a large and a mall intestine, but they are connected and are part of the 'tube' that makes up a large part of our digestive system. Even though they are part of this 'tube', their functions are different. The small intestine continues and finishes the digestive process that begins in the mouth and stomach. The nutrients that are processed out of your food get absorbed by the body as the material works its way through the small intestine. The job of the large intestine is mostly to absorb moisture from the digested material and to prepare it for elimination. By the time material gets to the large intestine, most if not all of the food nutrition has been processed out already.
Can you live with the Removal of small and large intestine?
Living without a small intestine is not feasible due to its crucial role in nutrient absorption. However, living without a large intestine can be possible with dietary modifications and possible use of an ostomy bag to manage waste elimination. It would be necessary to work closely with healthcare providers to ensure proper nutrition and overall health.
Can you vomit from small intestine?
Vomiting typically originates from the stomach or upper intestine, not the small intestine. However, severe irritation or blockages in the small intestine may lead to vomiting as a way for the body to expel the contents of the small intestine.
Why do feces become hard after few days?
As feces remains in the large intestine, the large intestine is removing water and recycling it into the circulatory system. The longer the feces is in the large intestine, the more likely it is to have less water in it when it makes its way out.
