Digestion occurs when food is moved through the digestive system. It begins in the mouth and ends in the small intestine. The final products of digestion are absorbed from the digestive tract, primarily in the small intestine. There are two different types of digestion that occur in the digestive system: mechanical digestion and chemica

The liver regulates nutrient absorption, while the pancreas provides essential enzymes. The small intestine, with microvilli enhancing absorption, covers a large surface area.
