The process of digestion starts with teeth chewing inside the Response area as the salivary glands release enzymes.

The food then passes through the Response area before reaching the Response area
The Response area produces bile to help digest fats/lipids. The gallbladder stores bile.

The Response area produces enzymes, like trypsin, that help digest proteins.

The food goes into the Response area which is the site of nutrient absorption into the blood.

Next, the food goes into the Response area which is the site of water reabsorption.

Finally, any food that cannot be digested further is stored in the Response area and is eventually removed from the body through the anus.
