Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

mouth-eating, speaking, and the starting point of digestion

esophagus- to carry food and drink from your mouth to the stomach

stomach-the stomach secretes acid and enzymes that digest food. the stomach muscles contract periodically, churning food to enhance digestion.

small intestine- it absorbs nutrients and minerals from food.

large intestines- absorbing water and electrolytes, producing and absorbing vitamins, and forming and propelling feces toward the rectum for elimination.
