Absorption and egestion. These are the processes that happen in the digestive system: ingestion (eating) â digestion (breaking down) â absorption â egestion. We've already looked at how foods are broken down by enzymes in digestion. Now we will look at how the products of digestion are absorbed into the body. Absorption. Digested food molecules are absorbed in the small intestine. This means that they pass through the wall of the small intestine and into our bloodstream.

Large insoluble substances cannot pass through.
