Human Digestion System

This diagram of the human digestive system, created by Mike Smitherman, illustrates the complex process of digestion. From the moment food enters the mouth, it undergoes a transformative journey, reaching the stomach within seconds. Here, hydrochloric acid and pepsin break down food into usable nutrients. The processed food then moves through the intestines, typically spending 8-12 hours before being dehydrated and excreted. This informative overview enhances our understanding of digestion and nutrient absorption.
