The importance of the digestive process in the oral cavity for the digestive tract in the stomach

Resume: Digestion is a complex process of transformation of the food taken, as a result of which the components, while retaining their energetic and plastic value, must lose their specificity and acquire the property of being assimilated by the body and included in its normal metabolism. This physiological process in the gastrointestinal tract provides mechanical and chemical processing of food substances (proteins, fats, carbohydrates) to nutrients (monomers) with their subsequent absorption into the blood and lymph. The conversion of nutrients into nutrients is carried out by the digestive system.
