Digestion is a simple process where large insoluble food particles are broken

down into smaller soluble molecules so that they can be absorbed by the blood
and give energy to different parts of the body.

The process of digestion has a few stages.

Chewing is the first stage of the digestive system. When you chew your food, the
food particles break down into smaller pieces that are easier to swallow. The
saliva which contains a lot of enzymes, mixed with those food particles and helps
break down those food particles even more.

Once you have completely chewed your food the tongue helps to push the food
particles down your throat and this process is called SWALLOWING
The food travels through a long pipe called esophagus also known as a food pipe
When the food particles, have travelled through the food pipe their next
destination is the stomach. Where those particles hang out for approximately 4
hours. The stomach releases a lot of acids and enzymes which further break down
the food particles. So that these particles can be absorbed by the body.
An enzyme called Pepsin present in the stomach helps break down the proteins
and a lot of bacteria are killed by the stomach so that we don’t fall sick
Next destination the small intestine. Once the food particles reach the small
intestine a lot of juices from the liver and pancreas help break down those
particles. The liver secretes bile which helps break down fats. And the pancreas
releases other enzymes to help digest all kinds of food particles. Now that the
food particles are broken down the small intestine absorb them and transfer
them to our body through blood
The particles that are not absorbed by the small intestine reach the large
intestine. Now the large intestine absorb water and other particles and sends the
waste material out of the body
