1. THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

2. Q #1 Digestion begins in the oral cavity. Process called digestion occurs as food is broken down both chemically and mechanically. Broken down foods must be absorbed into the blood stream. Undigested food remains are removed, or excreted, from the body in feces.

3. Organs forming the continuous tube from the mouth to the anus are collectively called the gastrointestinal tract. Organs outside of the digestive tract proper (food does not travel through) and secrete their products into the digestive tract are called accessory digestive system organs.
