The small intestine not only transports chyme but also completes digestion, absorbs nutrients and water, and transfers these nutrients into the bloodstream. It has structures like villi and microvilli that increase surface area for efficient absorption. Muscular contractions help move chyme through the intestine, ensuring effective digestion and nutrient uptake.
