The small intestines are not broken down during digestion because they are composed of resilient, flexible tissues that can withstand the mechanical and chemical processes involved in digestion. Additionally, the enzymes and acids in the digestive system are designed to break down food rather than the intestinal lining itself. The small intestines also have a protective mucus layer that helps to shield the tissue from damage. Thus, they remain intact while efficiently absorbing nutrients from digested food.
