The Garden snail begins to digest by taking a bit of a plant into it's buccal mass (mouth). Next, the radula grinds up the food by moving back and forth. Next, the food goes through the esophagus into the crop. The crop contains bacteria that help digest the cellulose in the food. After that, the food goes into the stomach where even more digestion takes place. After that, food enters the intestines where most of the nutrients are absorbed. Lastly, undigested food leaves the snail through the anus.
