Summary Introduction

Introduction: The digestive system consists of a collection of organs that help in the digestion of food materials and to convert them into basic energy-rich molecules for supplying it to the entire body. The small intestine is a long tube-like structure that is located lower in the stomach and in the middle of the abdominal cavity. It causes the absorption of almost all the nutrients, water, and electrolytes.
