How does food digest as it moves from the mouth to the large intestine?

Answer 1

digestion starts in the mouth where the food is broken down by enzymes in your saliva. the the food passes down to the stomach where the enzymes are denatured. then the food molecules pass through to the small intestine when they are broken down by more enzymes. the products made from this are then absorbed by the small intestine wall or passed along out of the body.

Answer 3

The food gets chewed in the mouth.

Then the food goes through the pharynx and larynx

Then the esophagus carries the food from the mouth to the stomach

Then the stomach beaks down food and produces chemicals for digestion.

Then most of the nutrients broken down by digestion are absorbed by the small intestine.

Finally in the large intestine water and minerals are absorbed and waste products are stored in the large intestine.
