|---|---|
| Mouth | Teeth chew food into smaller pieces; saliva (spit) starts breaking down starchy food |

| Stomach | Churns food and mixes it with acid to break it down into a thick liquid |
| Small intestine | Absorbs goodness (nutrients) from the liquid food into the blood |
| Large intestine | Absorbs water; turns what is left into waste (poo) ready to leave the body |
