Explanation:
All the organs of the digestive system have their specific functions. The process of digestion starts at the mouth and ends at the anus. The food we eat is chewed by the mouth using the teeth. After the breakdown of the food into smaller pieces in the mouth then the food is passed into stomach through oesophagus. The food is digested in the stomach where the stomach has a layer of mucus. The HCL present in the stomach also plays the important role in the digestion of the food. The food is digested and the nitrogenous waste is sent to small intestine and then it is removed by the anus from the body.
Answer:
— The human digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract plus the accessory organs of digestion (the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder). Digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components, until they can be absorbed and assimilated into the body.
— The digestive system converts the foods we eat into their simplest forms, like glucose (sugars), amino acids (that make up protein) or fatty acids (that make up fats). The broken-down food is then absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine and the nutrients are carried to each cell in the body.
