Digestive System

The digestive system plays a vital role in breaking down foods, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste through various organs. This intricate system starts at the mouth, where food enters, and includes the pharynx and esophagus, leading to the stomach, where initial digestion occurs. Key organs like the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestines, large intestines, rectum, and anus each contribute to digestion and nutrient absorption. Learn how these organs work collaboratively to maintain health and well-being.
