As humans, we have two sets of teeth that erupt during our lifetime – the first set is called as milk teeth, primary teeth or baby teeth and they start erupting when we are 6 months old and the next set of teeth, called permanent teeth, begin erupting as we turn 6 years old.
absorption
when the digested food is allowed to pass into the blood vessels in the wall of small intestine the process is called absorption
assimilation
the absorbed substances are transpoted by blood to all organs of our body where they are used to build complex substances such as the proteins required by our body.this procedure is calles assimilation
