• After, it is the arrival in the stomach, a partial digestion happens in contact with gastric juices. The result is called : the chyme.
• At the end, the last steps will be done in the gut where we find pancreatic enzymes and bile salts that participate to the final digestion. Nutrients obtained from food processing will be absorbed and then distributed by blood circulation into the rest of the body.
