Organ: Digestive system
Digestive system:
The body system for digesting food
Introduction: The digestive system is a series of hollow organs joined in a long,
twisting tube from the mouth to the anus . Inside this tube is a lining called the mucosa. In the mouth,
stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce
juices to help digest food.
There are also two solid digestive organs, the liver and the pancreas,
which produce juices that reach the intestine through small tubes. In
addition, parts of other organ systems
play a major role in the digestive system.
