The small intestine (also known as the small bowel) completes the digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates contained in the foods you consume. So this means that it basiccally purifies the energy from your food that other organs have broken down into smaller parts.

The resulting nutrients produced are absorbed through the lining of the small intestine and transferred to the bloodstream.

To make it short the small intestine brakes down your food into energy.
