What order does food travel through the digestive system?I know the digestive tract is the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and the anus.
But what exact order does the food go through? It it the same as the digestive tract?

I'd say that the digestive tract was the name for the more-or-less tubular organs through which food travels. The digestive SYSTEM includes a few more things, like the liver, gall bladder, salivary glands, etc., which may be involved in digestion but not in direct contact with food. If you're tracing the path of food, you've listed the correct order in your question.
