ALL SYSTEMS GO………. .

Lets begin with our Digestive System……………. .

DIGESTIVE SYSTEM When you eat foods— such as bread, meat, and vegetables—they are not in a form that the body can use as nourishment. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before they can be absorbed into the blood and carried to cells throughout the body. Digestion is the process by which food and drink are broken down into their smallest parts so the body can use them to build and nourish cells and to provide energy.

Main Organs of the Digestive System Organs that make up the digestive tract are the…………. . mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine—also called the colon—rectum, and anus.
