Mouth --> Food pipe --> Stomach --> Liver --> Pancreas --> Small intestine --> Large intestine --> Anus 

Primarily, in the mouth, food is chewed and mixed with saliva. With the help of enzyme called salivary amylase, carbohydrates start digesting. 

Secondly, in the food pipe with the help of the peristaltic movement, food was pushed down to the stomach.

Thirdly, in stomach food is broken down into simpler molecules and blended with the help of digestive juices. Also, the HCl enzyme is present in order to kill micro-organisms if entered with the food. 

Ahead, food is passed to the liver where bile sections help in the breakdown of fats.

Further, in the pancreas, many kinds of digestive juices are made fro where food has been passed tot he small intestine.

In small and late intestine absorption and reabsorption of nutrients take place and finally, solid waste has been excreted out of the anus.
