2.Your digestive system is likened to a long tube because it consists of the digestive tract, also known as the alimentary tract or alimentary Canal and basically resembles a long tube through which food you have eaten passes. In that tube the food you have consumed gets absorbed and nutrients extracted and used for the energy you need and for building and repairing your bodies' cells. The food gets broken down in each section of the tube as it passes down you, with approximate time period that anything you have eaten is in there beimg as shown in brackets :-
mouth (1 minute),
throat (10 seconds),
gullet (1 second),
stomach (2 to 4 hours)
small intestine (1 to 6 hours),
large intestine (10 hours to several days)
rectum (1 minute to several hours),
The above parts of your body all connected, and that whole connection structure look not unlike sections of a long garden hose.
Then the final stage is your anus which is an extension of your rectum as it passes backwards, it being about 4 centimetres long, and through it your faeces get expelled from your body normally only when you are sat on a lavatory seat. It is opened only during your expelling your faeces from your body at the very bottom of the referred to "tube". At all other times it is kept shut by the muscles of your anus sphincter which can not be controlled voluntary and your external sphincter which can be relaxed at your will for "defecation".

The teeth break down the food into smaller pieces for easier digestion.
The tongue mixes the food with saliva to break it down further, and also pushes the food down your throat so it can travel down the esophagus.
In chemical digestion are foods physically broken down into smaller pieces by chewing?
Chemical digestion is the process of enzymes and acids breaking the bonds that make up the food. Proteins are broken down into their chemical components by enzymes. Chewing is the mechanical process, aka as mastication, which cuts and grinds the food into smaller particles that are mixed with saliva to form a ball-shaped mass or bolus. The saliva contains an enzyme analaise, which starts the first stage of chemical digestion. This enzyme breaks the long carbon chemical chains that make up starches into simpler compounds called sugars.
The "slimy" bolus then travels down the esophagus through the pyloric valve into the stomach. Here, the strong muscular stomach, together with the hydrochloric acid churns the chyme, mixing it with the acid and the bolus is further reduced in size and chemical complexity. The resulting food-stuff is now called chyme.

In which organ of the digestive system does bile work on fats?
Bile is an emulsifier, which means that it breaks lumps of fat up into droplets. This increases the overall surface area of the fats, so there is more room for enzymes to work on breaking it down into smaller products.
