What are the stages of the digestive system?

Answer 1

there are 6 stages of Digestion:

1. Ingestion (eating the food)

2. Mechanical Digestion (you digest the food yourself; having control of the digestion, the food not changing substance just simply breaking down)

3.Chemical Digestion (eg: saliva breaks down starch... creating a new substance and having little control over the digestion)

4. Absorption (happens int he stomach)

5. Assimilation (happens in the duodenum)

6. Elimination (toilet time)

hope that helps :D

Answer 2

The 5 stages of digestion are as follows:

1. The chewing of food in the mouth, where saliva breaks down food to make it easier for it to go down theoesophagus.

2. The food enters the stomach where acids mix and break the food out more.

3. It goes to the small intestine where villi enable food into the blood to feed the body, this is where nutrition and vitamins are stored.

4. The large intestine is all waste, this is where the waste becomes more solid, because water is constantly sucked back into the body.

5. Waste collects in the rectum until the brain tells it to release the waste, where it leaves the body.

Answer 5

In order:

Mouth

Esophogus

Stomach

Small Intestine

Large intestine

It isn't four, but you can maybe cut out mouth, though that's where it all begins xD

what I think you mean is absorption, digestion, ingestion and egestion.
