The esophagus primarily serves as a transport channel, directing food and fluids from the mouth to the stomach.
The duodenum is the small intestine’s first segment. It is significantly responsible for the continuous breakdown process.
The large intestine includes the colon, rectum, and anus. It’s all one long tube that goes from the small intestine to the large intestine. It turns food waste into a stool and sends it out of your body when you defecate.
