What structures are part of the digestive system?

Answer 1

the mouth chews the food and mixes the food with saliva to begin it's break down. Next, the food goes down the esophagus and to the stomach. In the Stomach, food is mixed with digestive Juices and broken down even more. Then, the food travels through the small intestine and the nuitrients is taken out of the food and released to your body. After that, food enters the large intestine and any nuitrients that were not taken in the small intestine are absorbed here. Last, what is left over is stored in the rectum so the waste can be gotten rid of

Answer 2

The parts of the digestive system and their functions are listed below:

Mouth - physical digestion of food using teeth and taste of food to detect toxins etc.

Salivary Glands - produces saliva when the body thinks it is, or is, getting food. The saliva has enzymes and helps to break down the food

Pharynx - just a passage really and also where the food is sent into the correct passageway

Esophagus - the tube that carries the food bollus from the pharynx to the stomach using peristalsis

Stomach - physical mixing of food, chemical digestion of proteins into oligopeptides, abosorption of some alcohol, mechanical digestion: contracting of the muscles

Liver- produces acids (bile) that help to break food down in the stomach on its way to the small intestine

Gallbladder: stores the bile that is produces by the liver

Pancreas - the pancreas helps to digest the food

Small intestine - Well in fact this is the most crucial organ, it is involved in chemical digestion of both fats (using lipases and bile) an carohydrates using pancreatic amylase as well as absorption of almost all the nutrients into the blood stream.

Colon - this is also known as the large intestine and is important for water absorption and sotrage of fecease to some extent

Rectum - stores some fecease and help with defecation

Anus - through this the fecease must pass out to reach outside world

Answer 3

In the digestive system, the mouth plays the function of breaking down large food particles for easy swallowing, the stomach contains acids and enzymes that further break down the food. Afterwards, the small intestine absorbs most of the nutrients into the blood stream.
