Path of Food Through the Digestive System

The path of food through the digestive system.
Digestion starts at the mouth, travels down the esophagus, enters the stomach, passes through the small intestine, and then the colon. Along the way fats are broken down, sugars are converted, and important nutrients are absorbed by villi and transported by capillaries.
