Food enters the mouth, where it is chewed and mixed with saliva to form a bolus. The bolus then travels down the esophagus to the stomach, where it is broken down further by stomach acid and enzymes. From the stomach, the partially digested food moves to the small intestine, where nutrient absorption occurs. The remaining waste travels to the large intestine, where water is absorbed and solid feces are formed before being expelled through the anus.
