The Human Digestive System. In the digestive system, ingested food is converted into a form that can be absorbed into the circulatory system circulatory system,group of organs that transport blood and the substances it carries to and from all parts of the body.ost food, however, is not absorbed in the stomach and passes into the duodenum (first section of the small intestine) in the form of a thick liquid called chyme. Digestive enzymes from the pancreas pancreas, glandular organ that secretes digestive enzymes and hormones.
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. Once in the bloodstream, the digested food molecules are carried around the body to where they are needed. Only small, soluble substances can pass across the wall of the small intestine. Large insoluble substances cannot pass through.
