The digestive system breaks down food to provide energy to all of the body's cells through this process.
After the smaller particles have been broken down, they are circulated throughout the body and provided to cells for energy or as basic elements for cells to function.
Digestion ends in the small intestine of the human body.
The digestive process starts in the mouth and finishes in the small intestine.
The small intestine, which has three parts called the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, uses bile from the liver and enzymes secreted by the pancreas to break down food.
Food is moved through the small intestine and mixed with pancreatic and liver juices during peristalsis, which also speeds up the process.
The duodenum is largely responsible for the continuous breaking-down process.
After passing through the small intestine, the contents change from semi-solid to liquid. The change in consistency is caused by a combination of water, bile, enzymes, and mucus. When the nutrients have been absorbed, and the moisture from the leftover meal has been removed
The fundamental function of the large intestine is to absorb any remaining water from undigested food, where the bacteria ferment the undigested food.
The digestive waste products travel via., the large intestine and are finally defecated through the rectum and anus.
