II. Sequence of the Digestive System 1. Food is grinded up by your teeth and mixed with saliva in your mouth 2. It is pushed down your esophagus by your tongue and continues being pushed down by a ring of muscles in your esophagus until it gets to your stomach
3. In your stomach, it is mixed with stomach acid and digested 4. It moves to your small intestine. In your small intestine, the small food particles and liquid are passed by villi to the capillaries to send the food to the cells. 5. The rest of the waste is pushed to the large intestine.
Liver and Pancreas are organs of the digestive system that send chemicals to the small intestine to help digest food.
