Do you know how food is digested? I will provide you with an explanation as to what happens when you eat food.
When food is placed in your mouth, it is masticated by your teeth and saliva. The food is then moved to the back of your mouth by your tongue. This place is called the trapdoor or esophagus.
The food then moves into the stomach where it is broken down by digestive juices. The broken down food moves into small intestine. Here the goodness is soaked in.
The food is moved into the large intestine. The water is then taken out. The food that is needed by the body is transported by the blood to all parts of the body. The body's uses it for repair, energy and growth.
The waste food is excreted through the anus.
