What is the difference between the small intestines role and the stomachs role in digesting food?

Question:

Answers:
The Stomach simply digests the food we eat by using enzymes and gastric juices called "hydrochloric acid" to break down starches. When it is done in the stomach, the food is now a cream-like liquid call chyme. In the Small Intestine is where the digestion continues. As the food passes through, it is mixed with the new chemicals and soon our "food" is now digested small enough to be put to use by the body. Along the walls of the intestine are thousands of tiny fingers called villi. Blood vessels (capillaries) in the villi can absorb the tiny food molecules and send them off to the rest of our body through the blood.
