The document summarizes the human digestive system. It describes how food is broken down in the mouth by chewing and amylase. Peristalsis moves the food to the stomach where further breakdown occurs through acids and enzymes. The stomach acids and enzymes break food into smaller components like glucose, amino acids and fatty acids. The villi and microvilli in the small intestine have a large surface area for absorbing these broken down nutrients into the bloodstream. The liver and pancreas produce bile and digestive enzymes that enter the small intestine to help with the breakdown and absorption of fats and other nutrients. Undigested waste exits the body through the large intestine.
