General Physician  Digestive System:  The major role of the digestive system is the process of breaking down food and disposing the waste.  Stomach: the internal organ in which the major part of the digestion of food occurs, being a pear-shaped enlargement of the alimentary canal linking the esophagus to the small intestine.  Liver: a large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates, involved in many metabolic processes.  Gallbladder: the small sac-shaped organ beneath the liver, in which bile is stored after secretion by the liver and before release into the intestine.  Small Intestine: the part of the intestine that runs between the stomach and the large intestine; the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum collectively.  Large Intestine: the cecum, colon, and rectum collectively.  Rectum: the final section of the large intestine, terminating at the anus.  Anus: the opening at the end of the alimentary canal through which solid waste matter leaves the body.
