Small Intestine 2
The duodenum is
responsible for most of the digesting, whereas the
jejunum and ileum are responsible for the absorption of
nutrients into the bloodstream. The wall of the small
intestine has the same four layers as the other parts
of the digestive system, except that the small intestine
has glands that excrete an enzyme known as intestinal
juice.
