Pancreas squirts enzymes into the small intestine to break down the fat, protein and starch into the chemical soup that an hour ago was something else, cells of small intestine itself produce enzymes to complete processes. As enzymes do their work smaller and smaller fragments are liberated from the chemical soup and are absorbed into the blood and lymph through the cell's of the small intestine wall. Vitamins and minerals are absorbed here. they all enter the bloodstream to nourish the tissues. reference: Nutrition Concepts and Controversies
