Disorders of Digestive System:
• Jaundice: The liver is affected, skin and eyes turn yellow due to the deposit of more bile pigments(i.e billurubin) Jaundice is caused by a buildup of bilirubin, a waste material, in the blood. An inflamed liver or obstructed bile duct can lead to jaundice.(bile juice is in the green colour)
• Diarrhoea: The abnormal frequency of bowel movement and increased liquidity of the faecal discharge is known as diarrhoea.It reduces the absorption of food.

• Constipation: In constipation, the faeces are retained within the colon as the bowel movements occur irregularly.
• Indigestion: In this condition, the food is not properly digested leading to a feeling of fullness. The causes of indigestion are inadequate enzyme secretion, anxiety, food poisoning, over eating, and spicy food.
