Hope it helps you mark me the best .

Explanation:

Nutrition is the process of obtaining food and then using it for obtaining energy, growth and repair of the body.  

There are fine step in the process of nutrition in human :-

Ingestion : This is the process of taking food in to the body by the animal. when we put food in our mouth with hands, we are ingesting it.

Digestion : Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water. Soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery food plasma.

Absorption : The process in which the digested food passes through the intestinal wall in the blood stream.

Assimilation : the process in which the digested food passes through the intestinal wall into blood stream and absorbed food is taken in by the body cells and used for energy, growth and repair.

Egestion : Process in which the undigested food is removed from the bod .                                                                                                                                                           } this is the process of nutrition in human being .

Answer:

NUTRITION IN HUMAN BEINGS

Nutrition in human beings takes place through parts like mouth, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, anus

==>>>>>

The process of nutrition takes place through an alimentary canal which is a long tube extending from the mouth to the anus.

=== ==>>>

Complex foods should be converted to smaller ones by crushing the food with teeth and by the enzyme salivary amylase of saliva secreted by salivary glands.

Salivary amylase breaks down starch which is a complex molecule into sugar.

As the canal lining is soft so food is made wet to make the passage smooth.

The alimentary canal has different parts and the food should be moved in a regulated manner along the digestive tube so the food is processed properly in each part.

The canal has muscles that contract rhythmically to push the food forward and this movement of food is called peristaltic movement which occurs all along the gut.

The food is taken to the stomach through the food pipe or oesophagus from mouth.

The muscular wall of stomach mixes the food with more digestive juices secreted by the gastric glands present in the wall of the stomach.

Gastric gland releases hydrochloric acid, a protein digesting enzyme called as pepsin, mucus.

Enzyme pepsin acts on the food and hydrochloric acid facilitates the action of pepsin.

Mucus protects the inner lining of the stomach from the action of acid under normal conditions.

From stomach acidic food enters small intestine, the longest part of alimentary canal and this is regulated by sphincter muscle.

Complete digestion of carbohydrates, protein and fats take place in the small intestine by the secretions of liver and pancreas.

Bile secreted by liver makes the acidic food alkaline and acts on large globules of fat into smaller globules so that the enzymes can act on easily.

=====>>>>>

The process of breakdown of large fats globules into small globules which increases the efficiency of the pancreatic enzymes is called

Pancreas secrete pancreatic juice which contains enzyme trypsin to break for digesting proteins, lipase for digesting emulsified fats.

The walls of the small intestine contain glands secreting intestinal juice which converts finally complex carbohydrates into glucose, proteins to amino acids and fats into fatty acids and glycerol.

The inner wall of small intestine has finger like projections called villi which are richly supplied with blood vessels and these take absorbed food to all the cells of the body.

The unabsorbed food is sent to the large intestine where more villi absorb water from this undigested material and the rest of the material is excreted from the body by anus.

The excretion of waste materials by anus is regulated by the anal sphincters.
