The correct answer is The buccal cavity → Oesophagus → Stomach → Small intestine → Large intestine → Rectum → Anus.

Key Points

  • The food canal, also known as the alimentary canal or digestive tract, is a continuous tube running through the body from the mouth to the anus.
  • The process of digestion starts in the buccal cavity (mouth) where food is ingested and mixed with saliva.
  • From the buccal cavity, food passes through the oesophagus to reach the stomach.
  • In the stomach, food is further broken down by stomach acids and digestive enzymes.
  • The partially digested food then moves into the small intestine where most of the digestion and nutrient absorption occurs.
  • After the small intestine, the remaining undigested food passes into the large intestine, where water and salts are absorbed.
  • The waste material is then moved to the rectum and finally expelled through the anus.
