 DUODENUM

The duodenum is the first part of

the small intestine. The main role of
the duodenum is to complete the first
phase of digestion.
 JEJUNUM
The jejunum helps to further digest
food coming from the stomach. It
absorbs nutrients (vitamins, minerals,
carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and
water from food so they can be used
by the body.
 ILEUM
The lowest part of your small intestine
is the ileum. This is where the final parts
of digestive absorption take place. The
ileum absorbs bile acids, fluid, and
vitamin B-12.
