The digestive system has three main functions: digestion of food, absorption of nutrients, and elimination of solid food waste. Digestion is the process of breaking down food into components the body can absorb. It consists of two types of processes: mechanical digestion and chemical digestion.

Two important functions of the digestive system are digestion and absorption. The nutrients that come from food are derived from proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. These complex macromolecules must be broken down and absorbed in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract
