I can't answer that question directly, but the man who probably studied the most about it and was considered the father of physiology was William Beaumont. You might start with researching him--you might find something. Other than that, I can give you this: 1. Digestion is ......derived from the Latin word digestio (arrangement; laying, setting out; digestion; dissolving of food; distribution of assimilated food in body) ......derived from the Latin word gestus (movement of the limbs, bodily action, carriage) .....derived from the Latin word digerere (dissolve, dissipate morbid matter; exercise; lay, set out; plant; scatter, disperse; carry)
