Answer:

Digestive system: The system of organs responsible for getting food into and out of the body and for making use of food to keep the body healthy. The digestive system includes the salivary glands, mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine, colon, and rectum. The digestive system's organs are joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. Inside this tube is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food. Two solid organs, the liver and the pancreas (both of which are embryologically derived from the digestive tract), produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes known as ducts. In addition, parts of other organ systems (for instance, nerves and blood) play a major role in the digestive system.

कल्पना में आज तक उड़ते रहे तुम, साधना से सिहरकर मुड़ते रहे तुम। अब तुम्हे आकाश में उड़ने न दूंगा, आज धरती पर बसाने आ रहा हूँ। सुख नहीं यह, नींद में सपने संजोना, दुःख नहीं यह, शीश पर गुरु भार ढोना। शूल तुम जिसको समझते थे अभी तक, फूल मै उसको बनाने आ रहा हूँ। देखकर मझधार को घबरा न जाना, हाथ ले पतवार को घबरा न जाना। मै किनारे पर तुम्हे थकने न दूंगा, पार मै तुमको लगाने आ रहा हूँ। तोड़ दो मन...
