Our digestive system is a wonderful machine.

It is made up of organs, like the mouth,

pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine

and large intestine, and glass like the liver

and pancreas.

This system regulates the ingestion process,

starting with the digestion. Food enters our

mouth, it goes down the pharynx into the

esophagus, and reaches the stomach. Here,

the gastric liquids continue the digestion

process, turning the food into chime.

Once the food is disintegrated the chime

continues into the small intestine where allthe nutrients are absorbed and pass into the

blood. This is where the digestion process

and the food that wasn´t digested, passes

into the large intestine to leave our boy.
