 What is digestive system?
Can anyone tell me?

The digestive system is the system that breaks down food to

chemical nutrients
The is the beginning of the digestive
system, chewing breaks the food
into pieces that are more easily
digested, while saliva mixes with
food to begin the process of
breaking it down into a form your
body can absorb and use.
The esophagus is a long, thin, and
muscular tube that connects the pharynx
food and liquids that have been
swallowed into the pharynx to reach the
stomach.
Your stomach is a sac-like organ
with strong muscular walls. In
addition to holding food, it serves as
the mixer and grinder of food.
Your stomach makes acid and
powerful enzymes that break the
food down and change it to a liquid
or paste. From there, food moves to
your small intestine.
The small intestine or small bowel is an organ
in the gastrointestinal tract where most of
the end absorption of nutrients and minerals
from food takes place. It lies between the
stomach and large intestine, and receives bile
and pancreatic juice through the pancreatic
duct to aid in digestion.
The large intestine, or large bowel, is the last part of the digestive system in
vertebrate animals. Its function is to absorb water from the remaining indigestible
food matter, and then to pass the useless waste material from the body. The large
intestine consists of the cecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal.
