we know that Holozoic nutrition is followed by human beings . we take nutrition in given processes :-
   Ingestion ⇒ digestion ⇒ absorption ⇒ assimilation ⇒ egestion .
the long tube that extends from mouth to anus is called as gut also known as alimentary canal .
        it comprises of different organs which forms an organ system called as digestive system . like -

    buccal cavity :-  ingestion ↓
      mouth  - intake of food                               
      teeth   - grinding and chewing 
      tongue - mastication
      salivary glands - wetting of food for swallowing .
    
      Oesophagus - transfer of food from buccal cavity to mouth  

digestion ↓
      stomach   -  gastric gland secretes HCL that makes the medium acidic 

absorption ↓  assimilation ↓
      small intestine - breakdown the complex nutritional molecules .
                            - the villi are richly supplied by the blood and lymph vessels that take nutrients to targeted tissue through blood .
                           
egestion ↓
large intestine -  absorbs excess water and regulates stool consistency and aids  .
