What happens to the food after it is swallowed

After the food has been chewed and mixed with saliva, it reaches the stomach through the oesophagus.The food is prepared for actual digestion in the small intestine, which is connected to the large intestine, and ends in the rectum. The undigested remains of the food and urine are excreted from the body. We can survive without water only for a few days, but the body can manage without food for quite some time. If the starvation goes on for a very long time, the body becomes weak and prone to diseases.
