The Stomach
By Brandi Waters |
|
1 The stomach is the most famous part of the digestive system. It is where your food goes after you swallow it. The stomach makes sure that the food you have eaten is broken down into small pieces that your body can use. The foods that we eat are made up of many things. Sugars, proteins, fats, starches, vitamins, minerals, fiber, water, and many other things make up the foods that we eat. Our bodies cannot use these nutrients unless the food is broken down to a simpler form. We start to break down food when we chew it in our mouths. This makes it easier for the stomach to handle. |
