Digestive System

Digestion begins in the mouth with chewing this is called mechanical digestion. As food moves through the digestive system it is broken down by digestive juices this is called chemical digestion. The nutrients are extracted so the body can use them.

organs

• Mouth
• Esophagus
• Stomach
• Small Intestine
• Large Intestine

The organs in this system work together to break down foods and get the nutrients from them to help the body function. This system works along with the excretory system to create the waste that is not needed so the excretory system can remove it from the body
