3) It receives the secretion of liver and pancreas for this purpose.
4) Walls of the small intestine secrete intestinal juice . This is also kn o wn as succus entericus .
5) The intestinal juice consists of enzymes like enterokinase, peptidase , lipase, sucrase , nucleotidase , nucleosidase etc.
6) Enzymes present in the intestine completely digest the partially digested food .
7) Following digestive processes take place in the intestine.
a) Peptidases convert peptides into amino acids.
`"Peptides" overset("Peptidases")to"Amion acids"`
b) Intestinal lipase c , ompletely digest fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
c) The Enzyme sucrase act on sucrose and converted as glucose.
`"Sucrose" overset("Sucrase")to "glucose"`
d) Nucleotidase and nucleosidase complete the digestion of nucleic acids.
8) The end products of lipids are absorbed by lactiols which are present in Villi.
9) The end products of carbohydrates and proteins are absorbed by blood vessels.
