Your digestive system breaks nutrients into parts small enough for your body to absorb and use for energy, growth, and cell repair. The digestive processes are ingestion, propulsion, mechanical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption, and defecation.

Answer:

The function of our digestive system is to produce enzymes and hormones to aid in the breakdown of food.

Explanation: Your digestive system is uniquely constructed to do its job of turning your food into the nutrients and energy you need to survive.
