The alimentary canal, also known as the digestive tract, is responsible for processing food and absorbing nutrients. It begins with the ingestion of food in the mouth, where mechanical and chemical digestion occurs. As food moves through the esophagus to the stomach, it is mixed with gastric juices for further digestion. The small intestine then absorbs nutrients into the bloodstream, while the large intestine compacts waste for elimination.
