What organ breaks up food and absorbs it?

Answer 1

There are various organs in the digestive system that have the function of breaking down the food that one person consumes, starting with the mouth, where teeth and saliva start the process needed to convert the food into the 'bolus', which then passes through the esophagus to the stomach, where more processing takes place, through the aid of gastric juices, finally, the processed food goes to the small and large intestine. It's in the small intestine where the nutrients of the food are absorbed into the blood.

Answer 2

The stomach breaks down food and the small intestine absorbs the nutrients.

A small amount of food/nutrients is absorbed through the lining the stomach.

Answer 3
