Question

Arrange the sequence of events that takes place after we ingest food.

Answer 1

$\bullet$ Food is taken into the digestive system through the mouth by the process of ingestion.
$\bullet$ These food particles are further broken down into simpler forms by the process of digestion with the help of enzymes.
$\bullet$ Once digested, vital nutrients are absorbed by the body by the process of absorption.
$\bullet$ Digested nutrients are then utilised for various purposes. This process is called assimilation.
$\bullet$ Finally the undigested portions are eliminated from the body by the process of egestion.
