Detailed explanation-1: -Hormone and nerve regulators control the digestive process. The cells in the lining of the stomach and small intestine produce and release hormones that control the functions of the digestive system. These hormones stimulate production of digestive juices and regulate appetite.

Detailed explanation-2: -The passage of digested food from the digestive tract into the circulatory system is called absorption. Both chemical and mechanical digestion makes food particles small enough to be easily absorbed into the bloodstream. The absorption takes place in the small intestines.

Detailed explanation-3: -The esophagus contracts as it moves food into the stomach. A “valve” called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is located just before the opening to the stomach. This valve opens to let food pass into the stomach from the esophagus and it prevents food from moving back up into the esophagus from the stomach.
