Explanation:

The mouth is the entry point for food

The pharynx (throat) is the transition area from the mouth to the esophagus and once it enters the esophagus, food is moved down the esophagus and into our stomach.

From glands that line the stomach, acid, and enzymes are secreted that continue the breakdown process of the food

the small intestine has three segments. The first segment is the duodenum where the further breakdown of the food takes place. The next two parts of the small intestine (jejunum and ileum) are mostly responsible for the absorption of nutrients from the processed food into the bloodstream through the walls of the intestine.

the large intestine (colon) has four parts: ascending colon

ransverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colons phincter provides the control over releasing stool or holding it.
