Food ingested enters oesophagus, from here it enters stomach (temporary storage site of food), from here food is slowly propelled forward toward small intestine and then to large intestine. It is in the intestines where the villi absorb all main nutrients and at the end of large intestine is anus where all waste materials are stored before being excreted.
