DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
The digestive system is made up of the gastrointernal {G1} tract
and your Liver, pancreas, and gallblader.The G1 tract is aseries of
hollow organs that are connected to each other from your mouth
to your anus. The organs that make up your G1 tract in the order
that they are connected include, your mouth, esophagus
,stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. Your
digestive system is uniquely constructed to do its job of turning
your food into the nutrients and energy to survive
 When we eat,

Digestion takes place for

nutrients to be absorbed.
Digestion refers to the
breakdown of the food into
smaller component
 Digestion starts
in the mouth.

We put the food in it to be soften

and chewed through the help of the
saliva snd teeth.
 Once the food softened , it will be
swallowed and pass through the
esophagus.

Esophagus is muscle tube that

leads to the stomach
 After passing
through the
esophagus, the
food will stay in
the stomach

A stomach is a hallow muscle that

contains acid that digest food that
we eat.
When the food is digested into thick
soup like mixture, it will go down to
the small intestines where nutrients in
liquid form is absorbed by the body
through blood vessels in the help of
Villi. Nutrient absorbtion takes place
When the digested food nutrients is
absorbed by the body in the smal
intestine is done, the undigested food
will be flushed out by the body as
waste (feces) through the rectum.
THE DIGESTIONS STARTS
WITH THE MOUTH AND
ENDS AT THE ANUS.
