    :'P' is mouth where digestion of food starts with the help of saliva. 'Q' is oesophagus which acts as a passage for conduction of food from the mouth to stomach. No digestion takes place here. 'R' is stomach where food is mixed with digestive juices. Digestion of all food components takes place in small intestine. In large intestine, 'S', water is absorbed from the undigested food.
