explain digestion and absorption

Soumili Majumdar 22nd Jun, 2020
Hello there,
Digestion is the chemical breakdown of the food that we eat. The ingested food is converted into absorbable molecules. In other words, it is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the blood.

Absorption is the movement of nutrients, water and electrolytes from the lumen of the small intestine into the cell, and then into the blood. After the digestion of the food, absorption takes place.

Hope this answer helps you.
Thank you!!

what is the role of saliva in digestive system

Devanshi Adhikari 5th May, 2020

Hello aspirant,

Saliva (also known as spit) is a fluid produced and secreted by salivary glands in the mouth. When food enters our mouth, our glands secrete saliva to start the digestion process. The enzymes found in saliva are essential in beginning the process of digestion. These enzymes also play an important role in breaking down food particles trapped within the teeth, thus protecting teeth from bacterial decay. There are various functions of saliva, and some of them are;

  1. It acts as lubricant to prevent our mouth from drying up
  2. Helps in digestion
  3. Saliva is very important in the sense of taste.
  4. Saliva maintains the pH of the mouth etc.

Hope this helped you.

Thank you.
