What occurs immediately after food leaves the stomach?

Solution

Stomach:

  1. The stomach grinds and churns the food to break those into small particles.
  2. It then pushes food as small particles into the first part of the small intestine, called the duodenum.
  3. In the small intestine, most of the digestion of our food and absorption takes place.
  4. Here, the next stage of digestion occurs.
  5. Digestive juices produced in organs like the liver and pancreas continue this process of turning food into energy.
