First, the food is taken into the mouth, and the food is
being chewed there by the teeth. Now, the food that
was broken down in the mouth is pushed into the
pharynx or the throat by the tongue, and further into
the esophagus, which produces mucus for
lubrication, but no digestive enzymes are present
here. Then to the stomach in which a large part of
protein digestion occurs. And then the chyme moves
from the stomach to the small intestine. The small
intestine is the organ where the digestion of proteins,
fats, nucleic acid, minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates,
and water is completed. And moves then to the large
intestine where it reabsorbs the water from
indigestible food material and processes the waste
material. The undigested food then will enter your
colon where the water will be reabsorbed into the
body and the excess waste is eliminated through your
anus.
