What's the process of digestion?

Answer 1

1.) The food you eat is softened by enzymes in your saliva. Your teeth chew and grind the food. Your tongue is used to toss the food.
2.) The food goes down the trachea. It enters the stomach. The stomach contains an acid called hydocloric acid. This acid can burn a whole through a carpet. It is used to digest food.
3.) The bile in the liver helps remove any harmful particles from the food. The liver also stores some of the food.
4.) The food goes through the intestines. The pancreas releases pancreatic juice into the small intestine to further digest the food.
5.) Some of this food is used for energy and carried to cells through capilaries. The "not needed" part of the food goes through the exit of your body. You secrete this as solid waste called feces.

Answer 2

the process of digestion is basically breaking down large insoluble food molecules into small soluble molecules, it starts with the ingestion, then the digestion, the absorbtion is taking the soluble molecules into the blood stream then assimulation and egestion (this is nutrition really)
the digestion is in 3 places the mouth the stomach and the duodenum. it mainly relies on enzymes that catalyse hydrolosis.
the starch is digested by amylase and the fats by lipase.
vitamins and minerals are already soluble.
once the food is rolled into a bolus and swallowed by peristalsis it comes to the stomac, churned in there and what isn't assimilated is egested

Answer 3

I'm not 100% sure but doesn't it go like this, you eat the food (mastication?) and the enzymes in your mouth help break down the food then it gets squeezed down your gullet then ends up in your stomach where gall is released into it from the gall bladder and then again is broken down by more enzymes and then passed through the intestines where it comes out :)

Answer 4

masticating/chewing
swallowing
enzymes and juices released to metabolise and digest food in stomach
digestion continues further in the intestines.

Answer 5

digestion is a chemical process which changes insoluble food substances which are large food substances into smaller substances which are soluble.It takes place in the alimentary canal.
