What is the Digestive System?
The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract, which is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. These organs break down and absorb food. Organs that make up the digestive track are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), rectum, and anus. Organs that help with digestion but are not part of the digestive tract are the tongue, glands in the mouth that make saliva, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder.
