Food comes out of the rectum and through the anus as feces.

The nutrients then pass into our bloodstream.

Undigested food is stored in the rectum, which is the lower part of the large intestine.

The tissue in the small intestine is covered with villi and microvilli, which make a large area for absorption.

Things like water are absorbed in the stomach and large intestine. Things like vitamins and minerals are also absorbed in the large intestine. However, ~95% of nutrient molecules are absorbed in the small intestine.

Digestion then continues in the stomach. When the gastroesophageal sphincter (cicular muscle) is relaxed, food can enter the stomach. Gastric juice is also released, and this helps to protect the stomach from acid and digestive enzymes.

The esophagus then carries the food from the pharynx to the stomach, with the help of wave-like contractions called peristalsis which push the food down.

While this is happening, to prevent food from entering the lungs, the larynx raises up to allow the epiglottis to cover the glottis.

In order for the the food to then continue down to the esophagus, the soft palate rises up.

Once the food is done in the mouth, it enters the pharynx.

The enzymes and the mucus aid the food in being formed into a bolus (ball). Then, the food is pushed to the back of the throat by the tongue and mouth to be swallowed.

The production of saliva then begins, triggered by the presence of food. The saliva contains enzymes (the main one being amylase) which helps with the breakdown of food. The mucus lubricates the food to help it travel easily.

Teeth mash and cut food to break it into smaller pieces. Specifically, incisors and canines are used for cutting food; and premolars and molars are used for grinding food.

The food enters the mouth.
