types of food digested in the small intestine
Small intestine The three major classes of nutrients that undergo digestion are proteins, lipids (fats) and carbohydrates:
Digestion The major part of digestion takes place in the small intestine. The large intestine primarily serves as a site for fermentation of indigestible matter by gut bacteria and for resorption of water from digests before excretion.
Jejunum The jejunum (/dʒɪˈdʒuːnəm/[2][3]) is the second part of the small intestine in humans and most higher vertebrates, including mammals, reptiles, and birds.
Protein (nutrient) Most proteins are decomposed to single amino acids by digestion in the gastro-intestinal tract.[14]
