The small intestine is where most chemical digestion takes place. Most of the digestive enzymes in the small intestine are secreted by the pancreas and enter the small intestine via the pancreatic duct. ... The three major classes of nutrients that undergo digestion are proteins, lipids (fats), and carbohydrates.

Hey here is the answer...

1.small intestine is the longest part about 526 of the alimentary canal fitted into a compact space in the belly by extensive calling.it is much longer than the large intestine it gets its name from its comparatively smaller diameter .

2.carbohydrates, fats and proteins are digested in the small intestine. Since this action takes place in only alkaline conditions the acidic food received from the stomach has to be first made alkaline. secretes bile juice which is stored in the gallbladder.

3.Liver- the largest gland in the bodysecretes bile juice which is stored in the gall bladder. Whenever food enters the small intestine the gall bladder relases bile juice into it through a duct .Bile makes the food alkaline and breaks the large fat globules into smaller ones,this increases the enzyme action.
