What is the optimum temperature of small intestine?

The optimum temperature for the proper functioning of the small intestine is between 98.6°F (37°C) and 104°F (40°C). This temperature range allows for the optimal activity of enzymes involved in the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Deviations from this temperature range can affect the efficiency of digestion and nutrient absorption. For example, temperatures below the optimal range can slow down enzymatic activity, while temperatures above the optimal range can denature enzymes and impair their function. Maintaining the proper temperature within the small intestine is crucial for efficient nutrient utilization and overall digestive health.
