Digestive system of humans

The digestive system of the human body is a complex set of organs and it is responsible for absorbing the nutrients and other substances from the food that we eat. The digestive system can only process a certain amount of food at a time and anything beyond this will pass through the system undigested. The digestive system is made of several organs and some of the main ones are as follows:
• Small and large intesntine
• Liver and colon
• Anus
• Esophagus
• Alimentary canal
• Pancreas and stomach
In order for the system to function properly all the organs must be in sync.

Hey Lizzy,
The digestive system prepares food for use by hundreds of millions of body cells. Food when eaten cannot reach cells (because it cannot pass through the intestinal walls to the bloodstream and, if it could, would not be in a useful chemical state. The gut modifies food physically and chemically and disposes of unusable waste. Physical and chemical modification (digestion) depends on exocrine and endocrine secretions and controlled movement of food through the digestive tract.
