"Most digestion in the small intestine occurs in the duodenum."
Barron says
"Food is broken down in the duodenum, but the nutrients of the food are absorbed in the other parts of the small intestine; the jejunum and the ileum"
Does this mean physical digestion occurs at duodenum but chemical digestion happens in the jujunum and the ileum?
I thought physical digestion occurs in oral cavity and stomach.
