How is food digested?
Do you know how the food you eat is digested?
I will provide you with an explanation.
When food is placed in your mouth it is masticated by your mouth as well as saliva. The food is moved to the back of your mouth by the tongue. This is place is called trap doors or oesophagus.
The food moves to the stomach where it is broken down by digestive juices. The broken down food moves to the small intestine. Here the goodness is taken in. Then the remainder of the food is moved to the large intestine. Here the water is removed.
Wasted food is excreted though the anus.
