digestion of proteins , fats and carbohydrates is completed in the small intestine.
the upper part of the small intestine is known as duodenum..it receives bile juice from the liver and pancreatic juice from the pancreas.the bile juice helps in the emulsification of fats.
amylase , trypsin and lipase are the three enzymes present in the pancreatic juice.trypsin changes proteins into peptones.lipase changes fats into glycerol and fatty acids.amylase converts starch into maltose.
these partially digested minerals enters the ileum.he wall of ileum secretes the intestinal juice called succuss entericus.here the minerals are fully digested.
