stomachIn the stomach the food is mixed with lots of

digestive juices. This breaks the food down into tiny little pieces that can be taken into the body.

Small intestinesThe tiny pieces of food pass into the small

intestine. Here all the good bits /healthy sugars, nutrients, minerals some fats etc/ are taken into the body.

Large intestine The waste products and water pass into the

large intestine, here all the water needed is taken into the body.

are waste products. This leaves the body when we go to the toilet.
