Text, Questions & Answers

Imagine you're a tiny morsel of food, beginning a thrilling journey inside the human body. As soon as you're chewed and swallowed, you slide down the esophagus - not just because of gravity, but pushed by mighty muscles. Your next stop is the spacious stomach, which can hold up to 1.5 liters of food and drink! Here, you mix with powerful juices that break you down further. Next, you move to the small intestine where you're broken down even more. Finally, you're swept into the large intestine, which absorbs water and sends you out of the body. And that's your journey through the incredible digestive system!
