Editing Lazzaro Spallanzani (section)

===Digestion===
In his work ''Dissertationi di fisica animale e vegetale'' (''Dissertation on the physiology of animals and vegetables'', in 2 volumes, 1780), Spallanzani was the first to explain the process of digestion in animals. Here he first interpreted the process of [[digestion]], which he proved to be no mere mechanical process of [[trituration]] – that is, of grinding up the food – but one of actual [[chemical solution]], taking place primarily in the stomach, by the action of the [[gastric juice]].<ref name="EB1911" />
