Saliva also has an enzyme that begins to break down starches in your food. Esophagus.
Detailed explanation-2: -The GI tract is the pathway food takes from your mouth, through the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine. In the GI tract, nutrients and water from foods are absorbed to help keep your body healthy. Whatever isn’t absorbed keeps moving through your GI tract until you get rid of it by using the bathroom.
