- Optimal Conditions for Digestion & Absorption
- pancreatic juice & bile - enzymes, emulsifying fats, and pH are essential for proper intestinal processes
- small intestine is PRIMARY site for absorption of nutrients into the cardiovascular system

- segmentation - longitudnal flow of chyme through the tube (duodenum -> ileum)
- migrating mobility complex - activity that moves the chyme from the ileum to the cecum through the ileocecal valve
