Food Processing
-
Absorption: when small nutrient molecules pass through the lining of the digestive tract into the bloodstream or body fluids.
Ingestion: The first step and simply means taking food into the body by eating. This brings nutrients into the digestive system so they can be processed.
Elimination: when undigested and unabsorbed material leaves the body as waste. This removes substances the body cannot use.
