Digestion starts before anything is swallowed: SALIVA carries an ENZYME that begins breaking down starch while the food is still being chewed. After that the route is mechanical and long, down the ESOPHAGUS to the STOMACH and into an INTESTINE folded into roughly six metres of tubing. This word find follows that route from one end to the other.
Frequently asked questions
What does BILE do?
Made in the LIVER and stored until needed, it breaks fat into droplets small enough for enzymes to work on. Without it fat passes through largely untouched.
Why is the small INTESTINE so long?
Because absorption needs surface area. Folded and lined with tiny projections, it presents a surface far larger than its length suggests.
