AB  - Food  consists  of  nutrients,  some  of  which  are  essential  for  the  body  to  function  on  a  daily  basis.  Digestion  of  food  starts  in  our  mouths,  and  food  continues  to  break  down  as  it  travels  from  the  mouth  through  the  esophagus,  stomach,  and  small  intestine  by  a  combination  of  mechanical  forces  and  chemical  reactions.  Enzymes  that  are  produced  within  the  saliva,  stomach,  pancreas,  liver,  and  small  intestine  target-specific  chemical  bonds  holding  complex  nutrient  structures  together.  Ultimately,  those  complex  structures  are  broken  down  to  simple  nutrients  that  transporters  along  the  stomach,  small  intestine,  and  large  intestine  can  absorb  into  the  body.
