Saliva is squirted in to the food to moisten & soften the food., Simply a transportation tube from the mouth to the stomach., Once the food gets to the stomach, the stomach uses chemicals to try to make the food particles smaller., The liver makes a chemical called bile, and it is stored in the gall bladder., This is where the real digestion takes place. As the food passes through, it is mixed with the new chemicals, and is finally digested enough to be put to use by the body., Whatever the body cannot put to use is sent to the large intestine., This is where all of the non-digested food comes out..
