Digestion

We learnt how our food is digested, nutrients are absorbed and waste is disposed of in our bodies.

In the mouth, our teeth bite, tear and grind food into small pieces. The salivary gland produces saliva which helps moisten the food. It then travels down the oesophoagus into the stomach.
