How does the Digestive system system work?

In: Digestive System [Edit categories]

Answer:

you eat food then it grinds using your teeth. The trachea and the Esophagus are jointed so there's the pharynx. It closes if the food is going down. If there's no pharynx the food will enter your lungs.Next the food will go to the stomach and mix with chemicals.It will be there for 2-3 hours. After that it will pass the intestines .small intestine absorbs nutrients and the large one absorbs liquid. Now it will pass to the rectum then to the anus and your feces is out
