What are the three sections of the small intestine and what role does each section play in digestion or absorption?
The 3 parts of the small intestine are: the Duodenum, the Jejunum, and the Ileum.The small intestine is the site where most of the nutrients from ingested food are absorbed. The inner wall, or mucosa, of the small intestine is lined with simple columnar epithelial tissue.
Where does most of absorption of carbohydrates occurs in?
Most food absorption takes place in the small intestine. Of the three sections of the small intestine, the duodenum and jejunum absorb the most nutrients. Some nutrients are absorbed in the stomach, but nutrients are absorbed mainly in the small intestine, where the small, soluble molecules are diffused or actively transported from the ileum/duodenum, into the capillaries on the other side of the intestine.
What are the three glands that help to complete the digestions?
the three glands that help to complete the digestion are large, intestine small intestine and kidney
What is the intestines job.?
The function of the intestines is to digest food. After leaving the stomach, the chyme enters the small intestine. This then moves along the small intestine, by the process of peristalsis. The small intestine lies between the stomach and large intestine and consists of three segments the duodenum, jejunum and ileum respectively. The small intestine is responsible for the absorption of nutrients from the chyme. The large intestine, situated between the small intestine and anus consists of three segments as well, specifically the ascending colon, the transverse colon and the descending colon. The large intestine is largely responsible for the absorption of water from what's left of the chyme. The reason the water is absorbed at such a late stage is because the water aids the movement of the chyme from the stomach to the anus (from where it is excreted) by means of lubrication. Had water been absorbed at an earlier stage, the food may get stuck in our intestines or may be difficult to excrete.

How is food absorbed?
Most of your food is absorbed when it hits your stomach. Your already dissolved food heats up and "bubbles up" so when you eat again, the dissolved food will dissolve it by melting it or "breaking it down" so you won't get any type of pain or bad stomach illnesses; diarrhea, bleeding, etc.

About the small intestine?
Small IntestineThe small intestine (also known as the small bowel) is the longest portion of the digestive tract - it is more than 6 meters long and is located within the middle of the abdomen. It has three sections, the duodenum, jejunum and ileum (more information provided below).Much of the small intestine is coiled and suspended in a thin layer of fat - which gives the intestine a lot of flexibility and mobility.What does it do?Digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates contained in the foods you consume, is completed within the small intestine.The resulting nutrients produced are absorbed through the lining of the small intestine and transferred to the bloodstream.
What are the three functions of the small intestine?
The three parts of the small intestine are:duodenum- which is the first part of the small intestine where food is being completed with chemical breakdown.jejunum- which is the middle part of the small intestine - specializes in absorbing all the nutrients (except fat) into the body.ileum- which is the last part where the small intestine meets the large intestine... also where alot of bacteria sits and eats on the undigested food.
How much bigger is your small intestine then your big intestine?
Three times as long. The small intestine is 21 feet long and the large one is 7 feet long.
