The food is broken down into smaller pieces by the teeth and mixed with the saliva in the mouth. Saliva moistens the food and helps in digestion of carbohydrates. With the help of the tongue, the food is pushed forward.
Food particles then move to the stomach through the esophagus. Esophagus contains sphincters to control movement food. In the stomach, the food particles are mixed with hydrochloric acid and other digestive juices. The digested food is called chyme. Chyme is then moved to the small intestine. Digestive juices from pancreas, liver, and gallbladder are mixed for further chemical digestion. The small intestine absorbs nutrients. The chyme is then passed to the large intestine. In the large intestine, water absorption takes place. The undigested part changes to solid stool. The rectum stores the undigested food till the waste is passed through the anus.
