Is a group of organs stretching from the MOUTH to the ANUS,

serving to breakdown foods, assimilate nutrients, and

eliminate waste.

The digestive system includes the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT

and the accessory glands (LIVER; BILIARY TRACT; PANCREAS).

MOUTH
Is responsible for crushing
food and it begins the
process of digestion with
saliva, which is produced
by the salivary glands.
 Pharynx
•It is a tube that
joins the
mouth and
esophagus.
 ESOPHAGUS

near your trachea, the
esophagus receives
food from your mouth
when you swallow.
 STOMACH
Is a hollow organ, or

usable form.
The liver is an organ located
under the diaphragm, on the

SMALL INTESTINE
It is a long tube, between 3 and 5
meters. In it, most of the digestion is
carried out and nutrients and water are
absorbed
LARGE INTESTINE
It is a tube wider and
shorter than the
previous one, 1.5 meters.
The nutrients that our
body does not need,
stores them here and
converts them into feces
 STRAIGHT
It is a bag where stool is stored. Located
in the cavity of the minor pelvis, it
begins in the final part of the sigmoid
colon, at the level of the III sacral
vertebra, and ends in the region of the
perineum with the anus. Its length is 14-
18 cm. Formed by:

- Straight sigmoid union

- upper, middle and lower rectal valve.
