A member asked:
I wish to know how does the body system work for digestion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Biochemistry: Acid in the stomach and enzymes in the small intestine break down food into small molecules that can be absorbed through the intestinal lining. This takes the combined work of the GI tract, the liver and the pancreas.
