The gullet (when you swallow and the windpipe is shut off the food goes down into the gullet and muscles in the wall of the gullet contract-get smaller-to push the food down and the food gets pushed down to the stomach. if something is wrong with the gullet, food will get stuck and that will do lots of damage. )
The stomach (in the stomach the food is churned up with a strong acid of pH1-2. if you do not have a balanced diet the acid might not be strong enough and the food won't dissolve quick enough. )
The small and large intestine (particles that make up food are call molecules and these molecules are absorbed through the wall of the small intestine and turned from insoluble molecules to soluble molecules. in this process, the molecules get broken down to less than 1/4 of what they were before. sugars (e.g. glucose), vitamins and minerals are small and soluble in water and so can pass through the wall of the small intestine. larger insoluble molecules, like starch, fats and proteins, need to be broken up into small, soluble molecules by chemicals called enzymes.
