How is our food digested?

How is our food digested?

I will provide you with information as to how food is digested.

When food is placed into your mouth it is masticated by your teeth and helped by enzymes in your saliva. Thereafter the food is then moved to the back of your mouth by your tongue.

The food then passes down into a long pipe called the oesophagus and into your stomach, where it’s broken down into juices. Food then travels to the small intestine and is further broken down. Food will then be converted into blood and will travel to all parts of your body. It helps your energy and body functions.

Undigested food then moves into large intestine where the water is absorbed. It then passes into your rectum and comes out as waste out of your anus.

This is all my information about how food is digested I hope you now know how food is digested.
