The Digestive System(Mrs Shum)

The digestive system is essential for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients. It begins in the mouth, where food is chewed and mixed with saliva to start the digestion process. The gullet then transports the food to the stomach, where it is further broken down by digestive juices over several hours.
