What is the funcution of a small intestine?

The primary function of the small intestine is the absorption of nutrients and minerals found in food. Most of the digestive enzymes that act in the small intestine are secreted by the pancreas and enter the small intestine via the pancreatic duct.these enzymes break down food particles and digested food passes into the blood vessels in the wall of the intestine. The absorbed substances are transported via the blood vessels to different organs of the body where they are used to build complex substances such as the proteins required by our body. The food that remains undigested and unabsorbed passes into the large intestine.
