The Digestive System
The Digestive System includes your: Mouth, Stomach, small intestine and big intestine.
The Digestive System takes the food you eat, breaks it down and turns it into
energy you can use. The Digestive System digests food that comes into the
stomach. As soon as you take a bite of food, digestion begins. Saliva contains
things called enzymes that start breaking down food. The esophagus is a tube
that runs from your mouth to your stomach. In the stomach, gastric juices start
to break the food down. The stomach also churns the partially-digested food,
turning it into a liquidy mush. Then the stomach leads to your intestines where
things that your body doesn’t need and can’t break down comes out.
