The two processes that occur are digestion and absorption. Digestion is the process by which your body breaks down food into small nutrient chemicals. While absorption is the process in which when the small nutrient molecules go through a wall of the digestive system and into the blood.

The digestive processes in the small intestine are unique because it it the only place in your body where all types of food are digested; proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.
The small intestine, specifically the jejunum is where most of the absorption occur.
Water absorption primarily occurs in the small intestine of the digestive system.
Secretion and absorption processes primarily occur in the digestive system. Secretion of digestive enzymes and acid takes place in the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine, while absorption of nutrients occurs mainly in the small intestine through its lining known as villi.

Bile and pancreatic juice are secreted into the small intestine through ducts. These chemicals assist in digestive processes in the small intestine.
A turkey has both a gallbladder and a small intestine. The gallbladder stores bile produced by the liver, which aids in the digestion of fats. Additionally, the small intestine is part of the digestive system and is responsible for nutrient absorption. Both organs play important roles in the turkey's digestive processes.
The Small Intestine
Most of the digestive process occurs in the duodenum and jejunum of the small intestine. This is where food mixes with digestive enzymes from the pancreas and bile to break down nutrients into forms that can be absorbed by the body.
