False, it is the first step in digestion.
----------------------
No - but the above is not true either, the small intestine comes after the stomach and mouth and digestion starts in the mouth.
False. The small intestine is not the last step in digestion; it is the primary site for digestion and nutrient absorption. After the small intestine, the remaining undigested food passes into the large intestine, where water is absorbed and waste is prepared for excretion.
After food is digested in the small intestine, it passes through to the rectum then anus, where the undigested food comes out as waste.
The small intestine is a part of the digestive tract, and is the next step after digestion in the stomach. Specifically, the small intestine is involved in digestion and absorption processes. It receives bile and pancreatic juices that aid in further digestion of material, and diffuses digested food through its thin walls and allows nutrients to move into the bloodstream to feed cells throughout the body.

The breakdown of dietary starch into glucose in the small intestine is considered a crucial step in carbohydrate digestion. This process involves the action of enzymes like amylase, which break down starch molecules into maltose and glucose, allowing for absorption through the intestinal wall to be used as a source of energy for the body.
Saliva is needed for the initial step in the digestion process and the swallowing of food.
Chewing
The large intestines is where the final step of digestion takes place.
The large intestines is where the final step of digestion takes place.
Oxygen passes into the body through absorption in the lungs.
The small intestine further breaks-down partly digested food using its enzymes and enzymes from the pancreas. It then absorbs the nutrients from these foods and passes the nutrients on to the blood capillaries.
Rennin is an enzyme produced in the stomach that helps curdle milk by breaking down casein, a protein found in milk. This is an important step in the digestion of milk proteins, allowing them to be more effectively digested and absorbed in the small intestine.
