DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

The digestive system (also known as the gut or gastrointestinal

system) includes the gullet (oesophagus), stomach, small and large
intestines, the rectum and anus. Chewed food passes from the mouth into
oesophagus, down into the stomach where digestive juices (including
hydrochloric acid and the enzyme pepsin) break down the food into
smaller particles; these pass into the small intestine, where more
enzymes break them down (digest them) into molecules small enough to
be absorbed through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. These
molecules go to the liver, which sorts them and breaks them down
further (metabolises them) into nutrients for the body to use. The
remnants of digestion pass to the large intestine (colon) where water is
absorbed into the bloodstream leaving stools (faeces), which are passed
out of the body through the anus.
