The digestive system breaks down celery through mechanical and chemical processes. In the oral cavity and esophagus, chewing and peristalsis break celery into smaller pieces. In the stomach and small intestine, stomach acid and pancreatic enzymes further break down the proteins, sugars, and starches in celery. The leftover cellulose is excreted as waste through the large intestine and anus.
