How does 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 silva. The food is moved to the back of the mouth by your tongue. This place is called the trapdoor or the oesophagus.
The food moves to the stomach where it's broken down by digestive juices. The broken down food moves to the small intestine. Here the goodness is soaked in.
The remainder of the food is moved to the large intestine. Here the water is taken out. The food needed by your body is transported by the blood and is used for growth, repair, energy.
The waste is excreted through the anus.
