    The document summarizes the key functions of the major organs involved in digestion. It describes how the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, large intestine, and rectum work together to break down food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste from the body. The small intestine completes digestion by absorbing nutrients and water, while the large intestine reabsorbs water and forms feces before it is expelled through the rectum and anus.
