If the </span><span>excess water cannot be removed from the organism, it will swell and burst.</span>

Akimi4 [234]

Explanation:

it's a process so it's first goes in the mouth then it goes through the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine. In the GI tract, nutrients and water from foods are absorbed to help keep your body healthy.

The muscles of the small intestine mix food with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine, and push the mixture forward for further digestion. The walls of the small intestine absorb water and the digested nutrients into your bloodstream. I hope this helps
