How does the human body digest food?
assistant
The human digestive system is made up of several organs that work together to break down and absorb nutrients from food. The mouth, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum all play a role in this process. Food enters the mouth and is chewed by the teeth and swallowed. It then travels through the esophagus and into the stomach where it is mixed with gastric juices and broken down further. From there, the food moves to the small intestine where water is extracted and vitamins are absorbed. Finally, the remaining waste is passed out of the body via the rectum.
