  1. Food is chewed into small bits and mixed with saliva in the mouth to start the digestive process.
  2. The food is then swallowed and then pushed down the esophagus.
  3. It enters the stomach where it is mixed with acid and further broken down into soft mush using hydrochloric acid that is produced there for the occasion.
  4. The mush (called chyme) goes into the small intestine where it is turned into a liquid and nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream.
  5. From there it goes into the large intestine where some water is absorbed. Small amounts of toxins from the blood may be added to the material.
  6. Then it finally arrives at the rectum...
  7. ...And leaves the body via the anus.
