In the small intestine, the food is mixed with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver and intestines.

Explanation:

  • The stomach stores the incoming food, mixes it with digestive juices, and slowly drains its contents into the small intestine.
  • The cells lined with the secretion of the wall dilute the hydrochloric acid which helps in the breakdown process.  
  • In the small intestine, the food is mixed with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver and intestines.
  • The walls of the small intestine are specialized in the absorption of nutrients from the digested food into the bloodstream.
  • Blood supplies these nutrients to different parts of the body.
