The Digestive System

What does the Digestive System Do ? The digestive system digests the food we eat.

Lets Take A Journey Of The Digestive System.

The Teeth The teeth chew and tear the food into small bits of pieces.

Salivary Glands They produce liquid like material called Saliva. Saliva softens the mouth and starts the breakdown of chewed food.

Esophagus The esophagus is the tube that carries food, liquids and saliva from your mouth to the stomach.

Stomach The main function of the stomach is to process and transport food. After feeding, the contraction activity of the stomach helps to mix and grind the food.

Gallbladder Bile is stored in the gallbladder until it is needed.
