Mouth
Pharynx
The food goes through the pharynx, a cavity leading to the esophagus.
Large pieces of food or macromolecules are ingested and are mechanically digested using teeth and your tongue. and chemically digested with saliva produced in salivary glands. The food then leaves the mouth through the oral cavity.
Esophagus
Stomach
When food enters the stomach it is mechanically digested by the muscle tissue contracting. It is also chemically digested using enzymes that it releases and hydrochloric acid, a strong corrosive acid that breaks down the food. The acid also kills any bacteria that we may ingest. The stomach is lined with mucus to prevent this acid from damaging it.
Small Intestine
Large Intestine/colon
Rectum
Anus
The waste leaves the body through the anus.
The waste is then stored in the rectum.
All the waste that is left over goes to the large intestine which is large in diameter. Water and vitamins left in the waste is absorbed into the blood. This causes the waste to be solid.
While going through the small intestine which is small in diameter, food is mixed with enzymes from the liver and pancreas that chemically break down the food. It is also mechanically digested by the small intestine contracting. The food is broken down the most they can be here and are called monomers. Monomers are the good part in your food that provide energy. The monomers leave the small intestine by being absorbed into the blood and enter the cells, this process is called the cellular respiration.
