After you chew your food, you swallow it. 6

The food goes down your throat to your stomach. www.catalog.niddk.nih.gov Throat Stomach 7

Next, the food goes to your intestines. www.catalog.niddk.nih.gov Intestines 8

You have small intestines and large intestines. Small Intestines Large Intestines www.catalog.niddk.nih.gov 9

Your body takes the things it needs from the food when it is in your small intestines. www.catalog.niddk.nih.gov 10

The stuff that is left over leaves your body as poop. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lawrence_evil/110212240/ 11
