Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
There are cells which will actively synthesize enzymes, intrinsic factor, and hydrochloric acid in various parts of intestine.
The digestive enzymes act on various bonds of nutrients and convert them into absorptive elements such as glucose, aminoacids, and fatty acids.
Stomach digests to some extent and it is completed by small intestine where absorption occurs.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
