Well it depends on the food, for example you would find different nutrients in an apple than a chocolate bar or a frog in a tiara.I'll try to help out nonetheless.
The esophagus is a muscular tube through which the food you eat will pass through first, it will go through your pharynx (thats the long tube leading to your stomach) and plop into that nasty ole' pool of HCl.
The stomach secretes enzymes that dgest proteins, and strong hydrochloric acid to aid in food digestion, (sent to it via oesophageal peristalsis) through smooth muscular contortions (called segmentation) before sending partially-digested food (chyme) to the small intestines.
The liver usually just lies around storing glycogen, making hormones and detoxyfying, but it also is the site of production of the biochemicals necessary for digestion.
The gall bladder stores the bile made by the liver and the pancreas.The pancreas is both an endocrine gland producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin, as well as an exocrine gland, secreting pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes that pass to the small intestine. These enzymes help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in the chyme.The small intestine is where the vast majority of digestion and absorption of food takes place.
The large intestines function is to absorb water from the remaining indigestible food matter, and then to pass useless waste material from the body.
