What is "small intestine"?
The small intestine is a long, tube-like organ in the digestive system of the human body. It is responsible for the majority of nutrient absorption from the food we eat. Comprised of three segments, namely the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, the small intestine plays a vital role in breaking down food into smaller molecules for efficient absorption. It is lined with millions of tiny finger-like projections called villi, which increase its surface area and aid in nutrient absorption. The small intestine also receives secretions from the liver and pancreas, further assisting in digestion and nutrient processing.
Examples
1. liver detoxification muscles and eyes 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. lung skin 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. colon assimilation elimination skin 7:00 a.m. to 9 a.m. stomach lymph food digestion 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. spleen pancreas lymph food digestion 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. heart arteries blood circulation 1:00 p.m. to 3 p.m. small intestine digestion assimilation arteries 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. bladder bones teeth elimination cleanse 5:00 p.m. to 7 p.m. kidneys bones teeth ears filtration elimination 7:00 p.m. to 9 p.m. heart lining blood vessel contraction 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
2. Fibers have molecular bonds that are resistant to human intestinal enzymes, so they pass through the small intestine undigested, get broken down a bit by bacteria in the large intestine, and ultimately end up as bulk matter in the stool.
3. So let’s say this person’s gallbladder’s got a few gallstones in it, and they go to eat a hamburger, the small intestine secretes cholecystokinin, sometimes shortened to CCK, into the blood where it makes it’s way to the gallbladder, and signals it to squeeze out some bile to give it a hand with digestion of that hamburger.
