Human Digestive System
the digestive system can be broken up into two main groups: the alimentary canal and the accessory digestive organs
the alimentary canal (or gastrointestinal tract or GI tract) is one long muscular, hollow tube that extends from the mouth to the anus (included mouth, oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines)
along this path, food is digested and broken down into smaller pieces that can be absorbed through the lining
the accessory digestive organs are the teeth, tongue, gallbladder, salivary glands, liver, and pancreas
Human Digestive System 2
the five main processes of digestion are ingestion, propulsion, mechanical and enzymatic digestion, absorption, and elimination
both mechanical and enzymatic digestion begins in the mouth
the salivary glands produce the carbohydrate metabolizing enzyme amylase and salivary lipase in addition to saliva to aid in digestion of food particles
