Overview
Digestive physiology studies the processes of digestion and absorption of nutrients by the digestive system. It deals with both mechanical and chemical aspects of food digestion and absorption, and also covers the associated hormones and enzymes involved in the digestive process. Its importance is evident in its applications to everyday life, such as understanding how to properly process and absorb food, and how the digestive system works in order to predict and prevent digestive issues. It is also essential in developing treatments for digestive diseases, as well as assessing the safety of food and drug products.
