Question

What happens to food when it reaches small intestine.

Answer 1

Hey dude,

The stomach produces acid that helps to kill bacteria and other germs that may get into food. ... It then pushes the small particles of food into the first part of the small intestine, called the duodenum. The small intestine is where most of the digestion and absorption of our food takes place.

Answer 2

Hey dude,

To move into the small intestine, chyme must pass through the pyloric sphincter. From here it enters the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. The liver mixes in bile, which helps break down fats in the food. The pancreas also secretes digestive enzymes that aid in digestion.
