Now, let's move on to our small intestine. So basically, the food goes into the oral cavity, travels into the pharynx, the epiglottis blocks it from going into our windpipe that is found here not shown, it goes into our esophagus. We have special types of sphincter muscles that open up and allow the movement of our food into the stomach, inside the stomach, and then goes into this section, the small intestine. And this entire convoluted region is our small intestine. So basically this and this section is part of our small intestine. Now, specialized types of accessory organs such as the liver, the gallbladder and the pancreas basically work together to create and secrete special types of enzymes, proteolytic enzymes that break down our carbohydrates proteins as well as fats.
