how food is digested

Thursday 8 september 2016

Have you ever wondered how food is digested? I will provide you with an explanation.

When food is placed in your mouth it is masticated by teeth and saliva. The food is moved to the back of you're mouth that's called the trapdoor or the oesophagus by the tongue.

The food then moves to the stomach and broken down  by digestive juices. the food is broken down into small pieces and moves to the small intestine,here the goodness soaked in.

The remainder of food then moves to the large intestine and the water gets taken out. The food needed by your body is for growth, transported by the blood and is used for growth,repair and energy.

Waste food is excreted out your anus.
