1 Digestive System

2 The Digestive system The Digestive system are organs that allow you to take in food, digest, and absorb any of the nutrients in the food and liquids to keep humans and animals active and healthy. Of course if you were to eat unhealthy then there are diseases that can occur

3 Small Intestine The small intestine absorbs and digests 90% of the foods nutrients and minerals you have eaten while the other 10% goes to the large intestine and the stomach, its not exactly hard to live without a stomach  but to remove the small intestine that, like I said does 90% of the digestion? Im going to assume it'd be really hard to live with.

4 Large intestine The large Intestine, as far as I know has two other names, "the large bowel" and "The Colon". Along with the stomach and the Small Intestine, the Large intestine also has a purpose of digesting, but a very small percentage of it. Water is absorbed through here and the remaining waste material is stored at feces.

5 Stomach YOur stomach is located on the left side of the upper abdomin, but what is the purpose of the stomach? Breaking it down your stomach is pretty much there for digesting food, but could it be possible to live without a stomach? There is actually an operation to remove your entire stomach and that’s called total gastrectomy. DURING THIS PROCCESS, THE SURGEON WILL HAVE TO CONNECT THE OESOPHAGUS TO THE SMALL INTESTINE, AFTER THE PROCEDURE THE PEITIENT WILL STILL HAVE A WORKING DIGESTIVE SYSTEM AFTER.

6 Liver If you were to donate a piece of your liver then that piece you donated could actually grow back, but what can your liver do for you and could you survive without it? The answer to the first question is the liver detoxifies, therefor meaning that if you were to drink something like alcohol, your liver will filter out the bad stuff And as for the second question, it can be possible to live without your liver but only for a short period of time.

7 Esophagus The esophagus is a muscular tube that is connected with the throat and the stomach. The esophagus opertates behind the heart and the windpipe, and right infront of the spine. The upper esophageal opens to allow food in and then reach the stomach to begin digesting.
