In monogastric animals, digestion begins in the mouth, where food is mechanically broken down and mixed with saliva, which contains enzymes that start the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates. The food then travels to the stomach, where gastric juices, including hydrochloric acid and pepsin, further digest proteins. The partially digested food moves into the small intestine, where the majority of nutrient absorption occurs, aided by bile and pancreatic enzymes. Finally, indigestible parts are passed into the large intestine for water absorption and eventual excretion.
