Ingestion: Taking in Food First Step Ingestion is the first process, involving the intake of food into the body. It begins with the act of eating and ends with the food reaching the mouth. Physical Act Ingestion is a physical process. It relies on the senses, including taste, smell, and sight, to identify and select food. Essential Process Ingestion is crucial for survival. It provides the body with the energy and nutrients needed for various functions. 2. Digestion: Breaking Down Foo Mechanical Digestion This involves physically breaking down food into smaller pieces through chewing and churning in the stomach. Chemical Digestion This process utilizes enzymes and acids to break down complex molecules like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into smaller, absorbable units. Enzymes Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions, breaking down food efficiently. 3. Absorption: Transferring Nutrients The Small Intestine Bloodstream Nutrient Transportati The small intestine is Nutrients are absorbed The absorbed nutrients the primary site for into the bloodstream are then utilized by nutrient absorption. Its through the villi and cells to generate lining features tiny transported to the liver, energy, build and repair finger-like projections where they are tissues, and regulate called villi, which processed and bodily functions. increase the surface distributed to various area for efficient parts of the body. nutrient uptake. Assimilation: Utilizing Nutrients 1 Cell Function Assimilation involves using absorbed nutrients to build and repair tissues, generate energy, and maintain bodily functions. 2 Growth & Repair Assimilation fuels cell growth and repair, replacing damaged tissues and maintaining organ function. 3 Energy Production Nutrients are broken down to produce energy, powering essential processes like muscle contraction and nerve transmission. 4 Regulation Assimilation regulates bodily functions, including hormone production, immune response, and maintaining body temperature.
