The main steps are

1. Teeth/Tongue and Salivary glands

2. The Esophagus

3. The Stomach

4. The Pancreas and Liver (in the duodenum)

5. The Small Intestine (jejunum)

6. The Large Intestine

7. The Rectum

Some lists include 8 (i.e. chewing and saliva as separate processes)

Both steps 4 and 5 take place past the stomach, in the small intestine. The upper part, the duodenum, is where pancreatic enzymes and bile from the gall bladder are added. The lower part called the jejunum is where food is absorbed, and other nutrients in a third section called the ileum.
