What is Digestive System Parts and Functions about?
The digestive system starts with chewing food in the mouth where saliva begins to break down starches. The esophagus then transports the food to the stomach where enzymes further break it down. The small intestine absorbs most nutrients from food where the large intestine absorbs water to form stool, which is stored in the rectum before being expelled from the anus. Accessory organs like the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas produce bile and enzymes to aid digestion.
