As the food is swallowed it is called pharynx. After pharynx the food goes into a opening and it is now in the esophagus. In the esophagus the muscles contract and squeezes the food down too the stomach.
This is where the food get mixed and breaked down. A thing called hydrochloric acid helps to digest food chemically and protects the body by killing bacteria. .Some water, specific vitamins and some medications are absorbed in the stomach.
The small intestine does a whole lot of work for the digestive system.The biggest job that it does is when the nutrients are absorbed into our bloodstream. The small intestine secretes digestive enzymes and moves contents by peristalsis, villi is the folding of the small intestine. The walls of the small intestine create a substance that is like a juice that produces enzymes that eventually work with the liver and the pancreas.
The large intestine absorbs water and salt from the things that are not fully digested. It also is where electrolytes are recovered.
