What's the difference between digestion and ingest?

Digestion


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or process of digesting; reduction to order; classification; thoughtful consideration.
  • (n.) The conversion of food, in the stomach and intestines, into soluble and diffusible products, capable of being absorbed by the blood.
  • (n.) Generation of pus; suppuration.

Ingest


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To take into, or as into, the stomach or alimentary canal.

Example Sentences:
