The food goes in your mouth and as soon as you see the food and get ready to eat your saliva glands pump saliva into your mouth to make a bolus with the food ("Bolus" Latin word for ball) FACT: Did you know that you saliva glands pump out about 1.5 liters of saliva a day. Anyway the bolus goes down the esophagus. While the food/bolus is going down the esophagus it expands and then enters the stomach. the stomach bounces the bolus around and it breaks down the food into more little bits. Then the food goes to the pancreas which pushes the food into the small intestine which turns food into nutrients after that that it goes through to the large intestine which turns food into poo. Then the poo enters the rectum and the rectum pushes the poo to the anus and then you take a poo. Here is a photo of what everything is.
