Digestive System
Digestion• First function in the digestive system• Breaks down food into smaller pieces so absorption
can occur• Esophagus (food moves down to the stomach) and
the Stomach (uses acids to break down food)
Absorption• Absorbs food to break
down further• 95% happens in small
intestine• Travels through small
intestine, large intestine• Travels all way to the
anus• Separates nutrients from
waste
Elimination
Elimination
• Eliminates waste from body• Stored in rectum until eliminated through
anus• Collects waste from small intestine
SweetElimination!!
ALL DONE!
