 INTRODUCTION

Digestive System, series of connected organs

whose purpose is to break down, or digest, the
food we eat. Food is made up of large, complex
molecules, which the digestive system breaks
down into smaller, simple molecules that can be
absorbed into the bloodstream. The simple
molecules travel through the bloodstream to all of
the body's cells, which use them for growth,
repair, and energy.
THE HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

This consists of following Organs:

2. Mouth
2.Oesophagus
3.Stomach
4.Small Intestine
5. Large Intestine
 1..MOUTH: The Mouth contains tongue,teeth and salivary
glands.Digestion of food begins in the mouth.

2.OESOPHAGUS: It is a connecting tube between the mouth and

the stomach. It helps to pass the food from the mouth to the
stomach.
3.STOMACH: Stomach is a bag like structure. In the stomach the
food is mixed with gastric juice secreted by the gastric glands of the
stomach.
4.SMALL INTESTINE: It is the longest part of the stomach in
which food is mixed with bile juice and pancreatic juice.It also
absorbs nutrients from the food.
5.LARGE INTESTINE: It is the last organ which helps in
absorbing water and in removing undigested solid wastes from the
body in the form of faeces through an opening called anus.
