Digestive system Group of organs that break down food so that it
can be used by the body.Food passes through the digestive tract. The digestive tract includes
your mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus.
The liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and salivary glands are also part of the digestive system.
Digestive System at a Glance

Mechanical digestion Breaking, crushing,
and mashing of food.
Chemical digestionLarge molecules
are broken down into nutrients with the aid of enzymes.
Breaking Down Food

Teeth With the help of
strong jaw muscles, teeth break and grind food.
SalivaContains an
enzyme that begins the chemical digestion of carbohydrates.
Digestion Begins in the Mouth
![Page 8: Life Science 3.1 : The Digestive System](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060108/55504132b4c90580748b4a8b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Once the food has been reduced to a soft mush, the tongue pushes it into the throat, which leads to a long, straight tube called the esophagus.
Leaving the Mouth

Stomach Muscular, saclike, digestive organ attached to the lower
end of the esophagus.Tiny glands in the stomach
Produce enzymes and acid to break food down into nutrients.
After a few hours of combined mechanical and chemical digestion, Food leaves your stomach as a soupy mixture called chyme.
The Harsh Environment of the Stomach

Pancreas Organ located between the stomach and small
intestine. Makes fluids that protect the small intestine from
the acid in chyme.Small Intestine
Muscular tube that is about 2.5 cm in diameter and about 6 m long.
Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream through fingerlike projections called villi.
The Pancreas and Small Intestine

Liver Large, reddish brown organ that
helps with digestion by making bile to break up fat.
Stores excess nutrients until the body is ready to absorb them into the bloodstream.
Breaks down toxins.
Gallbladder Saclike organ that stores bileSqueezes the bile into the small
intestine.Breaks large fat droplets into
smaller ones.

Large intestine Wider and shorter portion of the intestine that
removes water from mostly digested food and that turns the waste into semisolid feces, or stool.
Feces are stored in the rectum until they can be expelled.
About 1.5 m long, 7.5 cm diameter
The End of the Line

Feces pass to the outside of the body through an opening called the anus.
It has taken each of your meals about 24 hours to make this journey through your digestive system. Digestive syst
