Digestive System (Part 1)

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The stomach can hold 1.5 liters of food, which remains there for two to three hours in order for digestion to complete. The 33rd video in a series of 47 covers the process of digestion. Classes learn why digestion occurs, about the organs involved, and then see what happens to food once it enters the mouth as it travels all the way to the anus.
