The teeth cuts and grinds the rice/dal/vegetable mixture while the enzymes in our saliva breaks down the food further as it is converted into a paste. This paste is passed down the oesophagus to the stomach which breaks down the protein and sends the rest to the duodenum which further breaks it down to sugar and fat. Further down in the Ileum proteins, sugar and fat areabsorbed and rest which forms the waste is passed on to rectum, where water is absorbed and the finally the anus through which it is excreted.

The teeth acts as a grinder and cuts the Vegetables and fruits. It forms a paste which passes through the oesophagus to the stomach where it get mixed with bile which helps in digestion. It then passes to the intestinal passage where the nutrients are absorbed by the intestinal epithelial cells first in small intestine then in large intestine. Then it is excreted.
