Digestion in the small intestine.

Unlike the stomach, the small intestine is alkaline since the digestive juices released here cannot function under acidic
conditions. The small intestine is divided into two parts: the duodenum, the upper section, and the lower section which is
called the ileum.

As the chyme enters the duodenum, pancreatic juice is secreted from the pancreas and the bile is released from the liver.
The pancreatic juice contains three enzimes. Trypsin is the enzyme which continues the digestion of protein into
polypeptides and also into even smaller units called amino acids. Amylase continues the digestion of starch which began in
the mouth. Any starch that is still present is digested to maltose and glucose units. Lipase begins the digestion of fats and
oils into smaller units called fatty acids and glycerol.

The bile from the liver is very alkaline and so it neutralizes the chyme. By the time the food reaches the ileum, most of the
complex food substances have been broken down into very small particles. Enzymes released in the ileum complete the
digestion process by breaking down polypeptides, from protein foods, into their smallest unit - amino acids. The enzymes
also break down fats, from fats and oils, to fatty acids and glycerol. Sugars such as maltose, from carbohydrate foods, are
broken down to their smallest units – fructose and glucose. Vitamins, minerals and water in the food do not need to be
broken down into smaller units because they are small enough to be absorbed as they are.
