Exploring the Human Digestive System and Its Immune and Endocrine Functions

This article delves into the human digestive system, highlighting its significant role as the largest immune and endocrine organ in the body. Covering areas larger than a football field, the digestive tract is home to trillions of microorganisms, outnumbering our body's cells. We will explore key components such as the stomach, small intestine, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas, and examine the processes of swallowing, peristalsis, and the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Additionally, we provide insights into the food guide pyramid for healthy eating.
