sindirimin
Sindirimin is the Turkish term for digestion, the set of physiological processes by which food is broken down into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used by the body. In humans, sindirimin involves mechanical and chemical steps that begin in the mouth and continue through the gastrointestinal tract.
Mechanical digestion includes chewing and stomach churning that increase surface area and facilitate chemical breakdown. Chemical
The small intestine is the primary site of digestion and absorption. Pancreatic enzymes (amylase, lipase, proteases)
The large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes and hosts microbial fermentation that yields short-chain fatty acids
Regulation of sindirimin involves the enteric nervous system and hormones such as gastrin, secretin, and cholecystokinin,
