Mouth
• where the digestive process begins break down (chewing, mashing, grinding by the teeth)

Salivary Glands
• Under the tongue, near the jawbone, and back of the throat
• Produces a secretion that dissolves food and coats food with a mucus that allows it to pass through esophagus more easily

Small intestines
• 20 ft long
– First 10-12 inches is the duodenum
• Gets juices from the pancreas, liver and gallbladder – Aid in further chemical breakdown of the chyme
» final breakdown completes digestion
– Jejunum
– ileum
• where most of the food the body needs are absorbed into the bloodstream
