Answer:

The process of digestion in the human body takes place over six (6) steps. This travel log would be documented with each chapter as a step:

<u><em>Day 1: Ingestion.</em></u> I do not know how I got into this dark wet room (mouth) with huge white grinders (teeth), but I do not believe I would make it out in one piece; these grinders keep mashing me up n what I believe to be 'chewing'.

<u><em>Day 2: Propulsion. </em></u>There's a tunnel (oesophagus). I feel like I'm going down a wet slide.

<u><em>Day 3: Physical digestion. I</em></u> think I'm in some sort of sac-like mechanism (stomach)with thick walls that produce some sort of toxic substance (acids and enzymes) to my body.  This is where I die.

<em><u>Day 4 and 5: Chemical digestion and absorption.</u></em> There is almost nothing left of me; I am being taking in by the walls of this maze (small intestine). More of the 'toxic' substance is coming from what appears to be  leaf (liver) and all my constituents are being disintegrated (by the duodenum). Now there's a larger maze (large intestine or colon). I'm being separated and completely absorbed. The things that aren't useful about me (waste/stool) are being sent away.

<em><u>Day 6: Defecation.</u></em> Waste is excreted in the nus through the rectum.

I hope this was helpful.
