Where does food go after you swallow?
Connect every tract segment in order before advancing the food.
Food travels through the esophagus to the stomach and then the small intestine. Most nutrient absorption takes place in the small intestine. The colon absorbs water before remaining material leaves the digestive tract.
Order and major functions are schematic. Most nutrient absorption is in the small intestine; colon absorbs water. No real digestion time, enzyme kinetics or patient-specific quantities.
Carry food into the small intestine, where most nutrient absorption happens.
Trace food through the digestive tract.
