    • Pancreas
    • Liver
    • Gallbladder
  • Further digest food coming from the stomach, absorb nutrients (vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, proteins) and water from food so they can be used by the body. Function of which intestine
    Function of the small intestine
  • Where absorption of water occurs
    Large Intestine
