There are 9 steps to digestion. These steps include the teeth, the saliva, the tongue, the esophagus, the stomach, the liver and gall bladder, the pancreas, the small intestine, and finally the large intestine,
1. Mouth
2. Esophagus
3. Stomach
4. Small intestine
5. Large intestine
... If i answered it wrong, well them i'm sorry..just trying to help :d
The steps of the nutrition process include ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation, and egestion. Sometimes people need to take supplements to aid their digestion.
Mechanical digestion starts when food is chewed physically by the teeth (grinding and tearing the food), and the remaining steps of digestion continue from then on.
-Mechanical Digestion, which is when we chew our food in our mouths.-Chemical Digestion, when the acids in our stomach and intestines accually break it down to enable the body to absorb the nutrients and excrete the waste.
Chewing your food is the beginning of the digestive precess. Enzymes in your saliva begin to break down starches.
Holozoic nutrition involves four main steps: ingestion, digestion, absorption, and egestion. Ingestion is the process of taking in food, which is then broken down into smaller, absorbable components during digestion. The absorbed nutrients are then utilized by the organism’s cells for energy and growth. Finally, egestion refers to the elimination of indigestible waste from the body.
Digestion is the first step in preparing for the chemical steps of respiration because it breaks down food into smaller, usable molecules like glucose. This process ensures that the body has the necessary nutrients available for cellular respiration, where these molecules are further processed to produce energy. Without digestion, the body would lack the essential substrates needed for efficient energy production. Additionally, digestion provides other important nutrients and energy sources that support metabolic functions.
chemical digestion
There are 7 general steps associated with locations in the body: 1. The mouth (chewing and salivary glands) 2. The esophagus (swallowing and entering the stomach) 3. The stomach (digestion by acid) 4. and 5. The small intestine (digestion by bile and pancreatic enzymes - duodenum) (absorption of nutrients - jejunum and ileum) 6. The large intestine (absorption of water and nutrients) 7. The rectum (waste elimination)
mechanical digestion is with your teeth , chemical digestion is in your stomach and small intestine.
Digestion of some fats can begin in the mouth where lingual lipase breaks down some short chain lipids into diglycerides. However fats are mainly digested in the small intestine. The presence of fat in the small intestine produces hormones that stimulate the release of pancreatic lipase from the pancreas and bile from the liver which helps in the emulsification of fats for absorption fatty acids.
There are two forms of digestion: mechanical and chemical digestion.
