ok here's how it goes..... 1st food is broken down in mouth by teeth and starch is broken down into sugar by enzymes 2nd food is mixed with hydrochloric acid and proteins are broken down 3rd food goes to small intestine and bile from liver breaks up fat and food is absorbed through the wall of the small intestine into the blood. 4th food is stored in rectum before leaving body through anus.
