Technically the digestion of Carbohydrates is 'partly' completed in the MOUTH because Silva cotains Amylase (which breaks down Carbohydrates into compounds of sugars like Maltose for example) which allows the STOMACH to complete the digestive process with various different enzymes from the Pancreas and hydrochloric acid.

Therefore the answer when Carbs are 'completely' digested is in the STOMACH.

Isn't it in the rectum? Im confused!

carbs enter the duodenum in the partly digested form of dextrins and maltose. then they are further broken down into absorbable substances by the intestinal enzymes (maltase, sucrase, and lactase). so digestion in really completed in the small intestine... not the stomach.

The pancreas is the organ that produces enzymes essential for the digestion of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

These enzymes are released into the small intestine, where they aid in breaking down food substances for absorption. Additionally, the pancreas also produces bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid in the small intestine.
