dissolve and diffuse through the wall of the small
intestine. Its then enters the blood to be transported
to all parts of body
End product of carbohydrate ,
protein and fat digestion

4. FAT GLYCEROL AND FATTY ACIDS
The digestion of different types of food occurs in
different parts of the digestive tract
This is because different enzymes are secreted in
different parts of digestive tract
Each type of enzyme breaks down a specific food
