________

Hmmm. I think it would be the mouth. It may not be very large, but I believe it is a major organ. In any event, there is the stomach that would certainly be named before the small intestine.

What organ uses Chemical digestion and absorption of food?

Chemical digestion occurs in the mouth and (mainly) in the stomach. The small intestine is where a majority of absorption occurs, the large intestine mainly absorbs water. Actually only protein is digested in the stomach the majority of the rest is digested in the small intestine. Some starch is digested by salivary amylase in the mouth the rest is digested by pancreatic amylase in the duodenum/jejynum. The protein is digested entirely in the stomach as this is the only area with a pH low enough for the action of pepsin. Fats are digests using secretions of the gall bladder in the dudodenum/jejunum.
