What Is Digestion? If you smell delicious food being cooked and notice you are salivating slightly, the process of digestion has already begun. When you begin to eat, your salivary glands will make much more saliva. The entire process takes place in the gastrointestinal tract and requires nine parts and functions in order for the process to work. The process begins when we start to salivate and ends the moment our bodies make waste products. Enzymes and hormones push the food through the gastrointestinal tract, and it takes roughly 30 to 40 hours for the whole process to complete. While not fully included as part of the digestive system, our bodies also use the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas to aid in the digestive process. |
