The main steps of nutrition in humans are ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation, and egestion.
Explanation:
- The main steps of nutrition in humans are ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation, and egestion.
- Ingestion is the process of taking in food through the mouth. In vertebrates, the teeth, saliva, and tongue play important roles in mastication.
- Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules to be absorbed into the watery blood plasma.
- Absorption refers to the movement of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from the lumen of the small intestine into the cell, then into the blood.
- Assimilation is the movement of digested food molecules into the cells of the body.
- Egestion is the act or process of voiding or discharging undigested food as faeces.
