Learn how your body breaks down food to give you energy!
Food enters through your mouth. Teeth chew it into small pieces while saliva starts breaking it down.
l Food travels to the stomach where powerful acids and enzymes further break it down into a soupy mixture.
Nutrients from the food are absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the small intestine.
Water is absorbed from the leftover food, turning it into solid waste (poop) ready to be eliminated.
