Which two organs help break down food?
The two organs that play the most significant roles in breaking down food are the stomach and the small intestine.
Here's a brief breakdown:
* Stomach: This muscular organ mixes food with gastric juices containing enzymes that begin protein digestion. The stomach also churns the food, further breaking it down into smaller pieces.
* Small intestine: This long, coiled organ is where the majority of digestion and absorption occurs. It receives partially digested food from the stomach and mixes it with enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver. These substances break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins into smaller molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream.
While other organs like the mouth and the large intestine also contribute to the digestive process, the stomach and small intestine are the primary players in breaking down food.
