The muscles in the esophagus push the bolis down into the stomach
while its walls, lined with mucus, makes it easier for the food to slide down.

Food is churned and mixed with
digestive juices (enzymes and acid) that break protein causing the bolis to becomes a thick liquid, with the consistency of a milkshake (chyme).

Partly digested food moves
from the stomach to the small intestine, where it mixes with chemicals from the pancreas and the liver. Digested food passes into the bloodstream through the villi, which line the small intestine walls, and are transported throughout the body.

Materials that cannot be
absorbed pass into the large intestine. The large intestine absorbs water and stores waste until it can be eliminated from the body.

solid waste, called feces, is eliminated from the body through the rectum.
