How I Eat Ruth Owen

When you eat food, the muscles in your throat push it down a tube called the esophagus. Food moves from the esophagus to the stomach, where it is broken down. Learn about the fascinating ways the human body functions in How I Eat, a My Body title. Each title in the series introduces readers to the ways in which their body senses things, grows, and interacts with the world around them.
