Bread contains starch, it is digested since you put it into your mouth. Your saliva contains amylase, thus breaking down the starch molecules. When it reaches your duodenum, pancreatic amylase digests the remaining starch molecules. Even into the intestine, it keeps being digested and absorbed.

The lettuce contains fibers which helps the movement(peristalsis) of your gastrointestinal gut by rubbing its wall, in turn results in increased of enzymes secretion. The absorption of vitamins carries out when it reaches your small intestine.

Who ever asked this, of course a burger will digest, why, it is meat, wich is digestable, bread, also digestable, and any other toppings are also digestable.
P.S. The trade-off for having an efficient digestive system like ours is that we have stanky gas exiting out of your lower east side.

edit to whoever gave the first answer*

The question was HOW does a hamburger digest in your body.

A cheeseburger contains many different types of food; it has carbohydrates in the bun, protein and fat in the meat and the cheese, it usually has some kind of added topping such as lettuce, tomato, and possibly ketchup, mayonnaise, pickles, mustard, onion, etc., which can add fiber, vitamins, and various other nutrients. As a result, it take many different stages of digestion, with many different enzymes, to digest a cheeseburger. It gives the whole digestive system a workout.

In the mouthamylase, breaks down the (Bread) starch molecules. The liver produces bile, a substance that helps to break down fats. Gallbladder, source of powerful digestive enzymes required to chemically break down fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Stomach: acid and food = Chyme. Pepsogin gets activated by hydrochloric acid, turns to pepcid= digest proteins. Pancreas= It is the source of powerful digestive enzymes required to chemically break down fats, carbohydrates and proteins.

Small intestine(absorption, fats start to digest here, hydrolysis) has three parts: the duodenum, the jejunum and the ileum. The duodenum is the first portion of the small intestine, this part of the small intestine is tolerant to low pHs. Soon after entering the small intestine, the pancreatic duct pours pancreatic enzymes into the digesting food. These enzymes reduce the acidity. The bile duct, which carries bile from the liver, also empties into the duodenum and is responsible for breaking down fats within the food. The jejunum is where the majority of the absorption of nutrients takes place. The ileum is the longest part and is responsible for the absorption of B12 and the final processing of carbohydrates and proteins.

Large intestine site of decay= bacteria is braking it down (symbiotic) & vitamins and minerals are made.
