2. The mouth is where digestion starts. Chewing breaks the food into pieces that are more easily digested, while saliva mixes with food to begin the process of breaking it down into a form your body can absorb and use.
3. The esophagus connects the throat to the stomach. It forms an important passageway and functions as the pipe for food and liquids that have been swallowed into the throat to reach the stomach.
4. The stomach gives off acid and enzymes that digest food. The stomach muscles contract periodically, churning food to enhance digestion. The stomach breaks down the food then giving it to the small intestine.
5. The small intestine is the part of the intestines where 90% of the digestion and absorption of food occurs, the other 10% taking place in the stomach and large intestine. The main function of the small intestine is absorption of nutrients and minerals from food.
6. There are 4 major functions of the large intestine. They are recovery of water and electrolytes, formation and storage of faeces and fermentation of some of the indigestible food matter by bacteria. The ileocaecal valve controls the entry of material from the last part of the small intestine called the ileum.
7. The four stages are ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination.
8. Its function is to reabsorb fluids and process waste products from the body and prepare for its elimination.
9. The stomach gives off acid and enzymes to break down food.
