Where does food go after it leaves the stomach?
Food that leaves the stomach is called chyme. The chyme passes through a short passage called a duodenum. The duodenum releases enzymes which help digest the chyme before it passes into the small intestine. The small intestine absorbs the nutrients into the blood stream, and then passes digested chyme into the large intestine. The large intestine re-absorbs the water that was mixed into the chyme in the stomach, duodenum, and small intestine. The large intesting then compacts the undigested material into the stool, which passes into the descending colon. . When sufficient stool collects in the colon, it passes into the rectum. When stool collects the rectum, you develop an urge to defecate, which is the expulsion of the stool from rectum out the anus.

Which part of the body connects the jejunum to the stomach?
There are 3 parts to the small intestine: the duodenum, jejunum and ilium(in that order after the stomach). The duodenum is the first part of the small intestines. It is relatively short (12 inches) and starts at the pyloric sphincter of the stomach, and connects it to the jejunum.

What are the places were protein is digested?
Protein digestion occurs mainly in the stomach and also in the small intestine. When protein food is eaten and enters the stomach, the hydrochloric acid in the stomach "denatures" the protein. This means it starts to break the protein down into short chains of amino acids joined together (peptide chains). This is also when the the hydrochloric acid (HCl) also activates an enzyme called pepsin to participate in the break-down of the protein. After this, the broken down protein enters into the small intestine where it is further broken down into the di-peptides (2 amino acids joined together) by pancreatic enzymes and then into its individual amino acids by other pancreatic enzymes. The amino acids are absorbed through the small intestine and travel in the blood stream into the liver.
