Abstract
When we eat, we take food in at the mouth, chew it and swallow it. This is how food enters the gut, a continuous tube which includes the stomach, the small intestine and the large intestine and which goes all the way from the mouth to the anus. Some food is absorbed into the body from the gut. What is not absorbed is got rid of from the anus as faeces.
