    The document summarizes the major organs of the digestive and urinary systems. It lists each organ, provides its size and shape, and generally describes its location and main function. Some key facts are that the mouth and esophagus begin the digestive process, the stomach stores and breaks down food, the small intestine completes most digestion and absorption, and the large intestine reabsorbs water before waste is expelled by the rectum and anus. The liver and pancreas produce enzymes and bile to aid digestion, while the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra comprise the urinary system which filters waste from the blood.
