Hi! I'm the cherry above, and as I make my way through the digestive system, I'm going to show you!
So, right now I'm in the mouth. This is the first place food goes. This is also where food is chewed to make it easier to digest.
Once I leave the mouth, I enter the esophagus. The esophagus leads all food eaten into the stomach (including me!).
Next, I am transported to the stomach. This is where I am broken down by enzymes that digest food.
Now that I've made it out of that acidic stomach, I'm in the small intestine. In the small intestine, I am still being broken down and my nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream.
Now that I'm in the large intestine, I am finally being processed into waste. Here, stool is passed through the colon, starting in a liquid state then in a solid form. The water will be removed from me and stored in the sigmoid colon.
