How the digestive system works

Digestive system Introduction The digestive system helps to break some foods down to have energy for the day. While other foods are just waste. The digestive system first starts of in the mouth. In the mouth there is saliva that enzyme which help to break down your food. Your food then goes down your esophagus and down into your stomach. In your stomach there are gastric juices to break your food down then churns it into liquidy mush. The mush then goes down into the small intestine. The first part of your small intestine is called the duodenum. There are more digestive juices in the small intestines like bial. Bial is made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder until your body needs it. Bile also helps break down carbs, protein and fat. After the small intestine the food then travels into the large intestine. The large intestine breaks down salt and water and anything that your body can’t break down is waste which come out the other end.
