Duodenum (Small intestine)



The duodenum is part of the small intestine. Some of the food that was digested in the stomach will then move on to the duodenum. Here, all classes of food is digested.
The enzymes present in the duodenum would be: pancreatic amylase, lipase, trypsin and maltase. All undigested food will then be transported into the large intestine.
