Question

Describe the human digestive system with help of diagram.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• The human digestive system is a series of organs that converts food into essential nutrients that are absorbed into the body. The digestive organs also move waste material out of the body.

• The enzymes in saliva help break down foods, and the lubrication function of saliva makes it easier for food to be swallowed.

• The stomach's gastric juice, which is primarily a mix of hydrochloric acid and pepsin, starts breaking down proteins and killing potentially harmful bacteria.

• The liver has a wide range of functions, including detoxification, protein synthesis and production of bile for digestion.

• The function of the large intestine, which is about five feet long (1.5 meters), is primarily the storage and fermentation of indigestible matter.
