2. The Digestive System Chapter 29

3. Think about sliding a warm, tasty slice of cheese pizza into your mouth. You take a bite, chew, and swallow. You probably aren't saying to yourself, "There, I'm providing my cells with nutrients." However, that's exactly what you're doing. But first, your digestive system must disassemble the pizza into basic building blocks that your cells can use.
