The stomach digests the proteins in a meal. When it is finished digesting those proteins, the food leaves the stomach to be digested more and absorbed in the small intestine.

small intestine
When the meal you just ate is fully mixed, a round muscle at the bottom of the stomach-the sphincter- relaxes and some of the contents ofthe stomach are released into the small intestine. The first metre of the small intestine is called the duodenum, which is where most digestion takes place. This structure, has small tubes has small duxts that connect to the pancreas
Yes. The snake digests each meal by passing it along its body slowly. As long as the first meal is near the end of its body and almost digested, the snake can eat another meal.
A glass of water taken on an empty stomach will flow into your small intestine in a matter of minutes. A typical evening meal will have fully left your stomach and moved into your small intestine in four to six hours.
It takes several hours for the small muscle contractions to move the meal through the 32 feet of intestines.
Answer The small intestine is responsible for absorbing most of the nutrients found within your food. By the time ingested food reaches the small intestine, it has been mechanically broken down into a liquid. As this liquid flows across the inner surface of the small intestine (which has many small folds to increase the surface area), nutrients within the food come into contact with the many small blood vessels which surround the small intestine. This blood then leaves the small intestine, carrying away nutrients, water electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, fats and medications to the entire body. It can take three to six hours for a meal to pass from one end of the small intestine to the other, and that is dependent on the makeup of the food passing through; meals containing a lot of fiber move more quickly. Absortion of nutients, vitamines , minerals and some water. Also propulsion of food along the intestinal lumen.
Particularly Fats, they are slow to digest and CCK (cholecystokin) triggers the release of enterogastrone which inhibits peristalsis in the stomach and slows entry of food into the small intestine

Its principle function is to reabsorb water and maintains the fluid balance of the body. Certain vitamins are also taken in through the large intestinal wall. Further down the intestine, in the rectum, faeces are stored waste before it is eliminated. Another function is to process undigestible material (fibre), which makes up the bulk of the waste products.
to help with digestion
After food is digested in the stomach -- which takes about 3-4 hours -- it leaves the stomach. Chyme (or food and stomach acid) enters the small intestine at a rate of about 100-300 ml every hour. Depending on how much you ate (the average meal is probably 600-800 ml after digestion), food can be in your stomach anywhere from 3.5 hours to 7 hours.
