mammals digestive system is monogastric digestive system. this means it starts once the food hits the mouth

teeth break the food down to small bits

saliva moistens the food and enzyme breaks it down further for the esophagus

The food from the mouth goes down to the esophagus

The Esophagus lubricates and carry’s the food down to the stomach

The Stomach create acid to break down the food and change it to a consistency of liquid

The Liver absorbs the nutrients from the food from the stomach and store the energy

Small intestine mixes and transports nutrients that came from the stomach and transports waste

The large intestine absorbs water, electrolytes, and vitamins. With the waste it propels feces toward the rectum

The rectum lets the waste out the body through the anus
