    The document summarizes the key stages of digestion and absorption of food in the human digestive system. It describes the breakdown of food through mastication in the mouth, peristalsis to push food through the esophagus, and further breakdown in the stomach through enzymes and acids. It then discusses absorption of nutrients in the small intestines and roles of the liver, pancreas and gallbladder in digestion before waste is eliminated through the large intestine and anus.
