A humans digestive system starts at the mouth, through the esophagus, into the stomach where it is churned and chemically broken down by peptides and starch enzymes. Digesta then moves into the small intestine where the nutrients are absorbed by villi found along the walls along the length of the small intestine. Digesta moves into the the large intestine where further water absorption takes place, then is expelled as feces through the rectum and anus.

A cow's digestive system starts at the mouth, down through the esophagus and into the reticulorumen (the reticulum and the rumen), where it gets broken down and undergoes fermentation by protozoa and bacterium. The digesta then is regurgitated to be rechewed as cud, then reswallowed again to be redigested in the rumen and reticulum. The digesta then is moved into the omasum where it undergoes water absorption before being moved into the abomasum where it gets digested for any excess proteins and starches that were bypassed in the rumen. Then the digesta goes to the small intestine to undergo further nutrient absorption, and then into the large intestine where water is reabsorbed before being expelled as feces through the rectum and anus.
