The digestive system uses mechanical and chemical methods to break food down into nutrient molecules that can be absorbed into the blood. Once in the blood, the food molecules are routed to every cell in the animal's body. There are two types of animal body plans as well as two locations fordigestion to occur.
Digestion is the process by which ingested (food) material is broken down in the earlier stages of the alimentary canal into a form that can then be absorbed and assimilated into the tissues of the body. Digestion includes two types of processes 1  -. Mechanical (e.g. chewing, grinding, churning, mixing), and.igestion includes two types of processes-Mechanical (e.g. chewing, grinding, churning, mixing), and Chemical (e.g. action of digestive enzymes, bile, acids, etc.). The mechanical processes include the chewing and grinding of food by the teeth and also the churning and mixing of the contents of the stomach.
