FROM TASTING TO DIGESTING

The food we eat can be digested so that blood can absorb the nutrients and life sustaining vitamins in it. The food from the mouth enters the stomach through the food pipe. It is mixed with the digestive juices in the stomach for digestion. From the stomach it goes to small intestine where it is further digested. The useful food is absorbed by the stomach and the remaining waste which cannot be further digested goes to the large intestine. In the large intestine water is removed from the waste food and sent into the kidneys and the remaining solid waste food is removed from the body through the anus.
