But, your diet, metabolism and current digestive situation (sick with diarrhea or fresh from a good night's sleep) can alter this data.
FYI- Some facts about feces:About 3/4 of your 'poop' is made of waterOf the remaining portion,1/3 is composed of dead bacteria. the other 2/3rds is made of dead cells and fibrous stuff humans can't digest, like cellulose (plant fiber),

What structural details can you see in the inner lining of the small intestine?
The Small Intestine is the part of the Gastro Intestinal Tract the is concerned with the absorption of nutrients and also does most of the digestion as well. To increase the absorption of these nutrients that biggest surface area possible is required. To acheive this many different folds and proctions are used. We will start of with just immagining the tube was completely smooth inside and give it a relative surface area of 1. The visible folds of the walls that give the walls a wrinkled appearance increase the relative surface area to atout 3, not much of an increase really. ON top of these folds are much smaller almost microscopic folds called Villi which give the wrinkled surface a velvety appearance and increase the relative surface area to 30. A much bigger increase, but wait theres more. On each cell there are hundreds of minute fingerlike projections that stick out into the lumen, are completely invisible to the naked eye and increase the relative surface area to 600. A massive increase. So to answer you question in short the intestinal wall is linedwith Villi and Microvilli.

Does the small intestine break up molecules?
Enzymes in the small intestine can break larger molecules such as proteins into smaller molecules such as amino acids. These enzymes are either produced in the pancreas and taken to the first part of the small intestine by the pancreatic duct or some enzymes may be produced by the lining of the small intestine called the "brush border" in the first part of the small intestine. Large molecules such as proteins or starch need to be broken down to smaller molecules before they can be absorbed into the bloodstream and beusableto the person's body cells.
What does your small intestine do during digestion?
The small intestine absorbs small food particles through micro villi (small finger-like tentacles that line the small intestine wall). The nutrients then go to the veins and is carried through the body by blood.
The small intestine is also where most of the substrates bond with enzymes. This happens at warm temperatures, but not at hot temperatures, as temperatures of over 45 degrees celsius cause denaturing of the enzymes, so that they lose there shape and are unable to bond with the substrate. This happens in the same way that if you melted a jigsaw piece, it would no longer fit with the ones it was meant to.
