Question

When you eat an apple your body breaks down the tissue of the apple and absorbs the nutrients. What is the correct path that an apple would take through your digestive system?

• A. Mouth, stomach, small intestine, colon
• B. Stomach, mouth, small intestine, colon
• C. Small intestine, colon, stomach, mouth
• D. Mouth, small intestine, stomach, colon

Answer 1

The correct option is A Mouth, stomach, small intestine, colon

The food (apple) first comes in the mouth. It moves to stomach, small intestine and then moves to large intestine. The undigested food goes to colon, rectum and passes out from the body through anus. Hence, the correct path is:

Mouth $\to$ stomach $\to$ small intestine $\to$ colon
