Explanation ব্যাখ্যা

While the small intestine does play a role in some mechanical digestion, its primary function is to absorb nutrients like carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water from the chyme that enters it from the stomach. The small intestine also completes most of the chemical digestion with the help of enzymes from the pancreas and the small intestine itself.
