Question
lo 5.3 - 5.4. what is the final process in the digestive system?
gastrulation
defecation
absorption
secretion
mastication
Gastrulation is a stage in embryonic development, not part of the digestive system processes. Absorption occurs earlier in the digestive system (e.g., in the small intestine). Secretion (e.g., of digestive enzymes) also happens before the final stage. Mastication (chewing) is the initial mechanical digestion step. Defecation is the elimination of undigested waste from the body, which is the final process in the digestive system.
