Nghĩa tiếng Anh:
Digestion is the process of mechanically and enzymatically breaking down food into substances for absorption into the bloodstream. Food contains three macronutrients that require digestion before they can be absorbed: fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Through the process of digestion, these macronutrients are broken down into molecules that can traverse the intestinal epithelium and enter the bloodstream for use in the body. Digestion is a form of catabolism or breaking down of substances, that involves two separate processes: mechanical digestion and chemical digestion.
