Question

How is toast digested in the human body?

Answer 1

The digestion of food, or say toast has a long process.

First, we enter the toast in our mouth and we chew it to break it down. It is a part of physical digestion. Saliva mixes with the toast to break down the starch present in it to glucose.

The chewed morsels of toast enters our stomach through foodpipe or oesophagus. In the stomach, Hydrochloric acid reacts with the morsels to convert it into more simpler substance.

The morsels then enter the small intestine where the final digestion takes place. Enzymes from various organs react with the morsels to break it dwon into very-very fine particles. The morsels of the toast then pass into the blood through villi which are small finger-like projections on the walls of small intestine.///

This is how toast is digested in our body.
