Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of the small intestine in the digestive system. The small intestine is a crucial organ where most of the digestion and absorption of nutrients occur.
Recognize that the digestive process begins in the mouth and continues in the stomach, but the majority of enzymatic digestion and nutrient absorption takes place in the small intestine.
Identify the three parts of the small intestine: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. Each part plays a specific role in digestion and absorption.
Consider the enzymes and digestive juices that are active in the small intestine, such as those from the pancreas and bile from the liver, which aid in breaking down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
Evaluate the statement 'Most digestion occurs in the small intestine' based on the information about the digestive process and the role of the small intestine.
