Nutrition — The process by which all organisms obtain or synthesize their food and convert it into simpler substances, so that it can be absorbed and utilized by the cells of the body is called nutrition.

Emulsification — The bile juice breaks down fats into tiny droplets and this process is called emulsification.
Egestion — The process of eliminating the undigested food through the anus is called egestion.
