Put the journey in order

Move the four cards into the route food follows. The buttons work with touch, mouse and keyboard.

A simplified digestive routeA line connects mouth and oesophagus, stomach, small bowel and colon in sequence.

Static route:

  1. Mouth and oesophagus — Chewing starts the process, then swallowing moves food towards the stomach.
  2. Stomach — Mixes food with fluid and digestive juices.
  3. Small bowel — Continues digestion and absorbs many nutrients.
  4. Colon — Absorbs water and helps form stool.

Replay does not change your saved progress.
