One of the many functions of the liver is to detoxify and filter any toxins or poisons.
The small intestine is where most of the absorption of digested food occurs. Simple sugars and amino acids are absorbed through intestinal epithelium and enter the blood stream to be used by cells.
Fat is also digested in the small intestine when bile (from the liver) emulsifies fats and lipase(from the pancreas) break down triglycerides to fatty acids and monoglycerides. .
Good luck!. Hope you get an A on this homework!

First, I think you mean "gland," not "glad." Second, part of what you're supposed to learn is how to do research for yourself, and that doesn't mean running here and asking other people to do it for you. Go do a web search on "digestion gland." That should get you started.
