When rick pops a handful of peanuts into his mouth at the ballgame, he is engaging specifically in the process of ingestion.

What is ingestion?

  • Ingestion is the process of consuming any substance by an organism by swallowing or absorbing it.
  • Mostly it is accomplished by eating or drinking (e.g. food, water, medicine, etc.) through the mouth into the GI tract.
  • Single cell organisms ingest by absorbing the substances through their cell membrane.
  • Ingestion is the first process of digestion.
  • After ingestion, food is broken down physically (mastication) and chemically (by enzymes).
  • The digested foods are then absorbed through the blood to the cells.
  • The digested foods are then converted into the parts of a cell.
  • The undigested products are then excreted out as feces.
