    The gastrointestinal tract functions to taste, chew, and form food bolus in the mouth. It then transports food through the esophagus and stores it briefly in the proximal stomach before processing, digesting, and portioning food in the distal stomach over 1-3 hours. The partially digested food then moves to the small intestine over 7-9 hours where digestion and absorption continues, before moving to the large intestine where water absorption occurs over 25-120 hours until waste is excreted from the rectum.
