Digestive System: Stages and Functions Explained

  • The human digestive system involves several stages: chewing food to break it down into smaller pieces, mixing it with saliva containing enzymes, swallowing the food into the esophagus, where it travels to the stomach for further breakdown by acids and enzymes, particularly Pepsin for proteins.
  • After the stomach, food particles move to the small intestine where juices from the liver and pancreas aid in digestion, with bile breaking down fats and other enzymes assisting in digesting various food particles. The small intestine absorbs the broken-down particles, transferring them to the body through blood, while the large intestine absorbs water and other particles, eliminating waste material from the body.
