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 teeth and the saliva. The food is moved to the back of the mouth and oesophagus by the tongue. The food in the stomach is broken down by digestive juices. The broken down food moves into the small intestine, here the goodness is soaked in.
The remainder of the food is moved to the large intestine. Here the water is broken out. The food in the body, needs to be transported by the blood to all parts of the body where it’s needed for growth, repair and energy.
In conclusion, waste food excreted through the anus.
