Answer

<p> Oesophagus, Stomach, Small intestine, Large intestine, Rectum, Anus</p>

Explain

<p> The order of when various parts of the digestive system encounters food are central to this task. The oesophagus is typically the first major organ that processed food comes into contact with, shortly after swallowing – food descends from the oesophagus into the stomach for further breakdown via stomach acids. Next, it goes into the small intestine where digestion goes on further and nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. Following the process in the small intestine, any residual food matter enters into the large intestine (called colon) where water and minerals are absorbed and finally passes to the rectum and then the anus – leaving the body as feces.</p>
