Digestive System

Main Function The main functions of the digestive system are to: break down foods into nutrients that can be used by the body absorb nutrients that are necessary for energy, growth, and maintenance rid the body of solid wastes

Organs The organs of the digestive system can be divided into two categories: primary and secondary Primary organs have a direct role in digesting food and come into physical contact with the food Secondary organs support the process of digestion by secreting digestive juices, food does not pass through secondary organs

Primary digestive organs Mouth Large intestine Esophagus Rectum Stomach anus Small intestines

mouth Begins to break down food into smaller pieces through mechanical digestion Saliva in the mouth starts the process of chemical digestion

esophagus The transport tube that carries chewed food to the stomach

stomach Continues the process of mechanical digestion Secretes gastric juices that continue the process of chemical digestion started in the mouth

Small intestine The organ where most of the chemical digestion of food takes place Nutrients from food are also absorbed into the bloodstream through the small intestines

Large intestines The organ where water from the food is absorbed into the bloodstream Prepares the remaining undigested food for elimination from the body

rectum A short tube that stores solid waste until it is eliminated from the body

anus Opening where solid waste is eliminated

Secondary digestive organs Liver Gallbladder pancreas

liver Produces bile, which is used by the body to break up fat and filters blood

Gallbladder Stores bile produced by the liver

pancreas Produces digestive juices that help to further break down the food in the small intestine
