The duodenum, or upper third of the small intestine, is the last part of digestive tract where actual digestion actually occurs. (Additional processing may occur in the liver.) Tubes from the liver and the pancreas go to the duodenum. They neutralize stomach acid and add enzymes which cause additional digestion. (Some of those enzymes are recovered from the large intestine.) At the end of the duodenum, digestion ends and digested food begins flowing through veins into the liver.
