| Digestion occurs at the multicellular, cellular, and sub-cellular levels, usually in animals. This process takes place in the digestive system, gastrointestinal tract, or alimentary canal. Digestion is usually divided into mechanical manipulation and chemical action. In most vertebrates, digestion is a multi-stage process in the digestive system, following ingestion of the raw materials, most often other organisms. The process of ingestion usually involves some type of mechanical manipulation. Digestion is separated into five separate processes: - Ingestion: Placing food into the mouth,
- Mechanical digestion: Mastication, the use of teeth to tear and crush food, and churning of the stomach.
- Chemical digestion: Addition of chemicals (acid, bile, enzymes, and water) to break down complex molecules into simple structures,
- Absorption: Movement of nutrients from the digestive system to the circulatory and lymphatic capillaries through osmosis, active transport, and diffusion,
- Elimination: Removal of undigested materials from ..."
