Answer:

6

ingestion, propulsion, mechanical or physical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption, and defecation

Step-by-step explanation:

After you eat, it takes about six to eight hours for food to pass through your stomach and small intestine. Food then enters your large intestine (colon) for further digestion, absorption of water and, finally, elimination of undigested food.
