Duodenum also receives bile form the liver, enzymes from pancreas and secretes some enzymes on its own. All these substances bring about digestion of food in the intestine. The inner walls of the small intestine have millions of small finger like projections called the villi. Villi increase the surface area for digestion as well as absorption of digested food by eight times.
