    The digestive system consists of several organs that work together to break down food and absorb nutrients. The main organs are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. Each organ plays an important role - the mouth and stomach break food down mechanically and chemically, the liver and pancreas produce bile and enzymes, and the small intestine absorbs nutrients into the bloodstream. Together, these organs allow the body to break down food into smaller molecules that can be used for energy, growth, and cell repair.
