What are the structures you food passes through?

Food passes through several structures in the digestive system, starting with the mouth where it is chewed and mixed with saliva. It then travels down the esophagus to the stomach, where it is further broken down by stomach acid and enzymes. The partially digested food then moves to the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed, and finally to the large intestine for water absorption before waste is excreted.
