(a)
Small intestine of the human gut is a narrow long tube in a living adult. Due to its small diameter, it is called small intestine. Its length is correlated with the height of individual. It is the major site of digestion and absorption of different type of food.
Digestion and absorption of various food is carried out in a particular part of small intestine, like absorption of iron takes place in proximal part of duodenum.
Food digestion starts from oral cavity in humans, which continues in stomach and is digested completely in small intestine. Undigested and unabsorbed food (faeces) is transferred to long intestine where the water and some vitamins are absorbed
