Where food is digested?

The process of digestion begins in the mouth, where food is chewed and mixed with saliva, which contains enzymes that begin to break down carbohydrates. The food then travels down the esophagus to the stomach, where it is further broken down by stomach acids and enzymes. The partially digested food then moves into the small intestine, where it is further broken down by enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver. The nutrients from the food are absorbed through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream. Any remaining waste products move into the large intestine, where they are eventually expelled from the body.
