    The document discusses the human digestive system. It defines digestive enzymes as including lipase, proteases, and carbohydrates. It states that if laid out in a straight line, the length of the human intestine would be around 20 meters. Food enters and exits the stomach through muscular sphincters. Salivary amylase is the enzyme present in the mouth. Feces are stored and passed through the rectum and anus. Digestion begins in the mouth and involves chewing, saliva, and the tongue. Partly digested food moves from the stomach to the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. Undigested waste matter moves through the large intestine to be excreted.

    The digestive system breaks down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used by the body. It includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum. Various digestive juices and enzymes help break down food at each stage.

    The main sections are the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum. Food travels through these in the order of mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum.

    When food reaches the stomach, juices mix with the food and stomach muscles squeeze it to further break it down into a liquid form.
