The Digestive System

The digestive system is essential for breaking down food into nutrients needed by the body, including proteins, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and fats. This process begins in the mouth where food is chewed, then travels down the esophagus into the stomach. There, powerful stomach acids further digest the food before it moves into the small intestine, where absorption occurs. Learn about the journey of food through the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and beyond, and discover fascinating facts about this vital system.
