do you digest food in you mouth tell me that if it is A

FNAF fan girl think about it this way... If your food gets in your mouth then it is the start of absorption... because, yet it probably wont make sense, technically, when your swallowing your absorbing your food so that it enters your digestive system... #Made more sense in my head...

Hi me new!

That's incorrect. Absorption actually begins in the small intestine, which is option c. Let me explain how you can arrive at the correct answer:

To determine where absorption begins in the digestive system, we need to understand the role of each organ in the process.

The mouth is responsible for chewing and breaking down food into smaller pieces, while the salivary glands in the mouth produce saliva that begins the process of chemical digestion. However, absorption of nutrients does not occur in the mouth.

The stomach plays a role in digestion by churning and mixing food with digestive enzymes and stomach acid. However, absorption of nutrients also does not occur in the stomach.

The gallbladder is an organ that stores bile, a substance produced by the liver that helps digest fats. It does not play a direct role in the absorption of nutrients.

On the other hand, the small intestine is where absorption primarily takes place. It is specifically designed for the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream. The inner lining of the small intestine contains numerous tiny finger-like projections called villi, which increase the surface area available for absorption. These villi are covered with even smaller microvilli, which further enhance absorption.

Therefore, the correct answer is c. small intestine.
