Explanation:
1) digestion- the process of treating a substance with heat, enzymes, or a solvent to promote decomposition or extract essential components.
2) assimilation-the absorption and digestion of food or nutrients by the body or any biological system.
3) Erythrocytes - a red blood cell, which (in humans) is typically a biconcave disc without a nucleus. Erythrocytes contain the pigment haemoglobin, which imparts the red colour to blood, and transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the tissues.
4) diastolic pressure-the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. This is the time when the heart fills with blood and gets oxygen. A normal diastolic blood pressure is lower than 80. A reading of 90 or higher means you have high blood pressure.
5) malnutrition-Lack of sufficient nutrients in the body.
Malnutrition occurs when the body doesn't get enough nutrients. Causes include a poor diet, digestive conditions or another disease.
