Answer:
The digestion in our body takes place in the following way-
1.We chew the food, and it changes into smaller pieces.
2.The saliva in our mouths contains molecules called “enzymes” that also start to break down the food into smaller pieces.
3.We swallow the food and it goes to the stomach.
4.In the stomach, chemical reactions change the food into liquid (like thick soup) for one or two hours, and this liquid flows into the small intestine.
5.In the small intestine, our bodies take (“absorb”) the nutrients from our food, so they can travel around the body. The small intestines are about 6 meters long, so nutrients are absorbed for a long time. The things that are not absorbed are called “solid waste material”; this waste material goes to the large intestine.
6.The large intestine mixes the solid waste material with water so we can easily eliminate it from our bodies.
7.The solid waste material stays in the rectum until we go to the toilet. Then, this material leaves our bodies through the anus.
