Grade 8 Human Digestive System Overview by Joshua Muego is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The digestive system breaks down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. It consists of the digestive tract and several accessory organs. The digestive tract includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. Accessory organs that aid digestion include the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder. Chemical and mechanical processes are used to break down food into nutrients that can be absorbed and used by the body.
