Have you ever wondered what happens to your food after you swallow it? Inside your body is an extraordinary 'food-processing factory' known as the digestive system. Its job? To break down the food you eat, extract nutrients, and produce energy. Think of it as a fantastic journey that your food goes through, with several stations along the way. It starts in your mouth, where the food is chewed and mixed with saliva, then travels down a long tube called the esophagus. Next, it arrives at the stomach, where it gets churned into a liquid mixture. But the voyage doesn't end there. From the stomach, the food travels to the small intestine, which absorbs nutrients. Assisting this process are three organs - the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder - the loyal helpers in this adventure. Finally, the journey concludes at the large intestine, where water is absorbed, and the leftover waste is turned into feces, ready to be excreted. It's a fascinating journey, isn't it? And it happens every time you eat!
