Steps in the Process of Digestion
4. Smooth muscle contractions push food down esophagus to stomach– ingest/ion
5. Hydrochloric acid and enzymes mix with food in stomach
6. Broken down food moves to duodenum
Copyright © 2010 Delmar, Cengage Learning. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Steps in the Process of Digestion
7. Duodenal wall and pancreas secrete digestive enzymes
8. Bile from gallbladder mixes in
9. Enzymes break down food components– digest/ion

Steps in the Process of Digestion
10.Nutrients and water absorb into blood and lymphatic systems through intestinal walls– absorp/tion
11.Undigested and unabsorbed food (feces or stool) travel through large intestine to rectum
12.Feces expel through anus– defecat/ion
