About this document
Understanding the Digestive System by cruzhb4313 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The digestive system breaks down food through a multi-step process beginning in the mouth where chewing and saliva begin the breakdown. The food then moves through the esophagus into the stomach where stomach muscles and chemicals further break it into smaller pieces. In the small intestine, nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream to nourish cells while the large intestine absorbs water before the remaining waste exits the body.
