Most digestion and absorption takes place in the small intestine.
Initial and substantial digestion takes place in the stomach, before being completed in the upper part (duodenum) of the small intestine. The middle part of the small intestine (jejunum) is where most absorption of nutrients occurs, with the remainder done in the final part (ileum), and in the large intestine.
the capillaries diffuse the digested food to every cell in the body
Digested food isn't really stored, it passes through the body at a steady pace.
In the small intestine
Most food is digested in the stomach.
The small intestine is where most of the food taken in by vertebrates is digested. It is also absorbed there.
Most of the food is digested in your stomach, where the stomach muscles contract to squeeze the food into a thick, runny liquid.
The small intestine is where nearly all of the nutrients are digested. The stomach breaks down the food into a liquid and the colon absorbs water.
All food contains complex substances such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The body cannot utilise these substances in their complex form. The food consumed is broken down into simpler substances by a procedss called digestion. The digested food can be easily absorbed by the body.
When you eat, there are always bits of your food that can not be digested. This food is drained of most of its water, this waterless food is stored in the rectum as Feces, until it is eradicated through the body as a bowel movement.
Ingestion is the process by which food is taken into the body. It is part of the digestive process which breaks down food, absorbs its nutrients, and then the remaining waste is excreted. I hope this is what you meant!
AnswerYes. It depends on how look at it:Food for your mouth is: Food that s consumed and digested by mechanical and chemical processes that start to break the food down into smaller particles. The definition of digestion is making things smaller. Your stomach starts the digestion of proteins, and your duodenum does the rest.Food for your body is: When food is broken down into such fine particles so that they can pass through the cellular membranes, then they have been thoroughly digested, and most importantly, absorbed so that the individual cells can use the digested food.So, food is nor 'food' when it is digested.
