Small Intestine
Also known as the small bowel, the small intestine is the longest portion of the digestive tract.  It is made up of 3 segments (duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum) that form a passage from the stomach to the large intestine. The small intestine carries out most of the digestive process, absorbing almost all of the nutrients people get from food.
