4 Big Steps
This is just a fancy word for eating or "taking in food."
What is Ingestion?
When you use your teeth to grind and Crunch your lunch you're doing this type of digestion.
What is Mechanical?
These are the special substances that help chemical digestion actually work.
What are Enzymes?
This is the muscular tube that acts like a slide to push food to your stomach.
What is the Esophagus?
This is the stuff where you actually get rid of the waste ( aka: going to the bathroom ).
What is Elimination?
This type of digestion uses chemical reactions to turn food into tiny molecules.
What is Chemical?
Enzymes are actually made of this, which is also a nutrient found in meat and beans.
What is Protein?
This organ is basically a muscular sac that turns your food into a liquid mixture.
What is the Stomach?
This is the main event where your body actually breaks the food down.

What is Slow?
This "long tube" is the spot where most of the digestion in nutrient-grabbing happens.
