1. How the food changes consistency and form
The process of changing or breaking down the food, called digestion, starts from the time the food enters the mouth. Starting with mechanical digestion, where the teeth breaks down the food into smaller pieces through chewing, together with components in the saliva that starts to break the food chemically, which forms what is called bolus. Which then travels through the esophagus and into the stomach, where the stomach acids along withe the enzymes work together to break it down even more into chyme, which more liquid like in nature. This is where it travels through the intestines and eventually turns into feces as a result of the fluid and nutrients being absorbed.
2. How the body was able to absorb the nutrients from the foods we eat.
As mentioned previously the food that we ingest eventually passes through our large and small intestines as part of the digestion process. The small intestines are what absorb the broken down food molecules that pass through them, cells that are specialized to absorb the water, nutrients, and minerals that are present in the food molecules, and they allow them to poss through the intestinal lining into the bloodstream, which then carries it into the different organs that need these nutrients and minerals in order to function or in order to change these into different substances that the body needs.
