The anus is the last part of the digestive tract. 32. The colon is responsible for processing waste so that emptying your bowels is easy and convenient. 33.

The liver is your body's chemical "factory." It takes the raw materials absorbed by the intestine and makes all the various chemicals your body needs to function. 35. The food you eat takes an incredible journey through your body, from top (your mouth) to bottom (your anus). 36. Digestion is important because your body needs nutrients from the food you eat and the liquids you drink in order to stay healthy and function properly. Nutrients include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. 37. Your digestive system is uniquely constructed to do its job of turning your food into the nutrients and energy you need to survive. 38. The organs that make up your Gastrointestinal tract, in the order that they are connected, include your mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and anus. 39.
