How does food become poo?!


Question: First you insert the particle of sustenance in a orifice called the mouth, or oral cavity. In the mouth amylase starts to dissolve the carbohydrates. Then by the process called peristalsis, the food is transported down to the esophagus to the stomach. There with the addition of HCL and pepsin the protein is digested and the food becomes acid chyme. The acid chyme then enters the small intestine where bile from the liver and gallbladder and pancreatic juice from the pancreas begin to digest the other nutrients. In the Large intestine, water and vitamins are absorbed, then the waste goes into the rectum and is expelled through the anus.

There you have it the wonderful process called digestion.
