Most of the food is digested in your stomach, where the stomach muscles contract to squeeze the food into a thick, runny liquid.
The long coiled tube in which food is digested and absorbed is the small intestine. It is responsible for breaking down food into nutrients and absorbing these nutrients into the bloodstream to be used by the body for energy and other functions. The small intestine is an essential part of the digestive system, where most of the digestion and absorption of nutrients takes place.
Bolus is a mass of chewed food mixed with saliva, ready to be swallowed, while chyme is the partially digested food that passes from the stomach into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
The movement of digested food from the digestive system to the circulating fluid is called absorption. This process mainly occurs in the small intestine where nutrients are taken up into the bloodstream for distribution throughout the body.
Food must be digested before it can be used by the human body. This is due to the fact that food molecules are too big for the body to do anything with, so the body requires chemical and mechanical digestion to pull out the nutrients inside the food. Anything left over after the nutrients are used up is expelled from the body via the excretory system.
Most of the time when a bacterium is consumed it is killed either through the acid within your stomach, or by your immune system. On rare occasions the consumption of a bacterium can lead to illness.

The Large Intestine
The food that cannot be digested goes to the large intestine.
The food that cannot be digested goes to the large intestine.
Digested food does not go to all parts of the body. Food goes into the stomach where it is digested and then empties into the intestines to be eliminated.
