The Rectum and Anus

The rectum is the next part of the tract. It stores the brown balls. The next and last part of the tract is the anus. It is a ring of muscles that squeeze the brown balls out of your body.

The Large Intestine

Anything useful in the leftovers, are absorbed through the walls of the large intestine and back into the blood. The remains are tranformed into brown balls.

The Liver

Nutrients flow into the liver from the small intestine. The liver stores the nutrients, sometimes changes their form, and carries them away according to the needs of your body.

The Small Intestines

This is a narrow part of the digestive tract, but it is twenty feet long. Here, the enzymes break dow the food even more, so that the nutrients are finally small enough to pass through the lining of the small intestines, and into the bloodstream. The nutrients are then carried away to the liver to be stored.

The Gall Bladder

This baglike organ is tucked under the liver. It acts like a storage container for the liver. It stores bile, which is made inside the liver. Also when food arrives in the small intestine, bile comes to help digest fatty foods.

The Pancreas

The Pancreas is a more powerful version of the stomach. It also makes powerful digestive juices called enzymes that help break the food down even further so it can enter the small intestines successfully.

The Stomach

The stomachm has large muscles on its wall. These contract to mash the pulpy food into a sloppy liquid. The stomach lining produces digestive juices. These juices or chemicals take the nutrients of the food and dissolve or break them down.

Esophagus

The esophagus is a muscular tube. It is also called the gullet. What it does is take food from your throat and pushes it down into your stomach. The way it pushes down the food is by a muscle contraction called peristalsis.

The Mouth

In the mouth section of the digestive system, teeth chew and bite food. They chew the food into a soft pulp so you can swallow it without any problems. Also chewing the food helps it mix with saliva from six salivary glands to make it moist and slipery.
