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.
Food moves into the large intestine after it has been digested by the small intestine.
After the mouth, food travels down the esophagus to the stomach. From there, it moves to the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed, and then to the large intestine where water is absorbed before waste is excreted.
your large intestine and small intestine
The digestive system of a frog consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and cloaca. Food is ingested through the mouth, passes through the esophagus into the stomach for digestion, then moves to the small intestine for absorption of nutrients, and finally to the large intestine for water absorption before waste is excreted through the cloaca.
The food starts in the mouth, travels down the esophagus to the stomach, travels from the stomach to the small intestine, travels then to to large intestine, and exits the body through the rectum then the anus.
Which one of the following correctly represents the order in which food coming into the body passes through the structures of the digestive system? Food moves from the mouth to the pharynx, then on to the esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, and finally the large intestine.
As the material moves through the large intestine, water and nutrients are absorbed into bloodstream. The remaining material is readied for evacuation from the body.
From the stomach, the food moves into the small intestines. After the small intestines the food moves into the large intestines.
Food enters the mouth, where it is chewed and mixed with saliva to form a bolus. The bolus then travels down the esophagus to the stomach, where it is broken down further by stomach acid and enzymes. From the stomach, the partially digested food moves to the small intestine, where nutrient absorption occurs. The remaining waste travels to the large intestine, where water is absorbed and solid feces are formed before being expelled through the anus.
The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are the solid organs of the digestive system. The small intestine has three parts. The first part is called the duodenum.
Constipation
The cecum is located in the first part of the large intestine. This serves as a connection between the ileum to the ascending colon and a part of the intestine that moves the waste to be excreted.
