THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

The digestive system is the process where the human body breaks down and extracts the nutrients from food/drink. The said process all begins when the jaw chews food making it easier for the food to move down the esophagus and into the stomach. In the stomach is where acid is introduced into the digestive process and breaks down the chewed food even more and is sent through veins into the liver. In the liver the food is filtered and some of the nutrients are brought to the heart to keep it pumping. The food that has not been moved to the heart is turned into bile in the gallbladder and then sent to the pancreas where it is liquified even more to prepare for absorption. As it moves through the intestines the remaining nutrients are absorbed and used to keep the body running and some of the remaining food is turned into cholesthoerol. After it enters the large intestine and is transformed into a paste which then enters the colon and is excreted from the body.
