The digestive system starts in the mouth, where food is chewed and mixed with saliva. It travels down the esophagus to the stomach, where acid and enzymes continue digestion. In the small intestine, digestive juices from the pancreas and liver break food into nutrients, which are absorbed into the bloodstream.
The large intestine absorbs water and forms waste. This system ensures your body gets energy, vitamins, and minerals to function properly and stay healthy
