Digestion Processes

Ingestion
Ingestion is the process of taking in food.

Digestion
In this process, the larger food particles are broken down into smaller, water-soluble particles.

Absorption
The digested food is absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal wall.

Assimilation
The absorbed food is used for energy, growth and repair of the cells of the body.

Egestion
The undigested food is removed from the body in the form of faeces.
