Partially digested food, or chyme, from the stomach is mixed with bile from the liver and pancreatic juice from the pancreas to complete its digestion in the duodenum. The jejunum is the middle section of the small intestine that serves as the primary sitesite of nutrient absorption.

Hi there
The small intestine is called the site for complete digestion because after the digestion of proteins in stomach all the the other digestion and absorption occurs in the small intestine.The liver secretes bile and the pancreas secrete various digestive juices to digest the remaining nutrients in the small intestine. The small intestine also secretes its own digestive juice called succus entericus.
After digestion the required nutrients get into the blood stream and get tranported to various body parts.And thus digestion is completed here.
Hope this Helps....
