🔵 This step occurs mainly in the small intestine, where villi and microvilli greatly increase the surface area for efficient nutrient uptake.
🔵 Ingestion refers to the act of eating, and digestion refers to the breakdown of food into smaller molecules.
🔵 Compaction refers to the process of forming feces by removing water in the large intestine.
🔵 The correct process of taking nutrients into the body’s own tissues is absorption.
