Digestive system is the system of organs and processes In the body of humans and other animals that deals with the digestion of food.
Before I defined digestive system I already thought of drawing the diagram, I drew almost all the part I needed for this explanation I drew the mouth, salivary glands, teeth, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, (caecum,colon,rectum) which we know as the classification of large intestine, we also have appendix which is indicated in the diagram above, we have the iluem, duodenum which is known as the classification of small intestine, pancreatic duct, gall bladder, bile duct, and teeth.diagram completed

Step 1

Food is broken down and partly digested in the stomach with the help of gastric juice and stomach acid.

**Step 2 **

The mass of chewed food and saliva is swallowed and travels down the oesophagus to the stomach.

Step 3

Food is broken down and partly digested in the stomach with the help of gastric juice and stomach acid

Step 4

Food passes to the upper part of the small intestine (the duodenum).

Step 5

Bile is added from the gall bladder to break down fats. Pancreatic juice containing enzymes is added from the pancreas to help digest other types of food.

Step 6

Food that cannot be digested passes into the upper part of the large intestine (the colon), where any remaining water and salt is absorbed.

Step 7

the digestion and absorption of food is completed in the lower part of the small intestine (the iluem).

Step 8

Anything that cannot be digested is held in the form of faeces in the lower part of the large intestine (the rectum), and is passed out of the body through the anus.

That is All i know about digestive process
