The digestive tract and associated glands.

The body system that breaks down food into a form the body can use.

The organs of the body that take in food and break it down into smaller units ready for absorption. The digestive system includes the mouth, oesophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, small and large intestines, and rectum.

A group of organs stretching from the MOUTH to the ANUS, serving to breakdown foods, assimilate nutrients, and eliminate waste. In humans, the disgestive system includes the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT and the accessory glands (LIVER; BILIARY TRACT; PANCREAS).

The digestive system, also called the gastrointestinal tract, or GI tract, processes food for energy and rids the body of solid waste matter.

A group of structures and organs - including the mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, intestines, and rectum - that breaks down food.

The organ system that transports food into the body, secretes digestive enzymes that help break down food to allow it to be absorbed by the body, and excretes waste products. This system consists of esophagus, stomach, and large and small intestines, plus the accessory glands that produce the enzymes along the way.

the system that makes food absorbable into the body

One of eleven major body organ systems in animals; converts food from the external environment into nutrient molecules that can be used and stored by the body and eliminates solid wastes; involves five functions: movement, secretion, digestion, absorption, and elimination. PICTURE

All of the muscular organs involved in eating, digesting foods and eliminating solid food wastes, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.

The organs (salivary glands, mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, small and large intestines, and rectum) that turn food into energy for the body and allow waste products to leave the body through bowel movements.

The organs that take in food and turn it into products that the body can use to stay healthy. Waste products the body cannot use, leave the body through bowel movements. The digestive system includes the salivary glands, mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, intestines, and rectum.

organs in the body that break down and absorb food: the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, 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.

The group of organs, including the stomach and intestines, that are involved in the breakdown of food so that the nutrients can be absorbed by the body, are referred to as the digestive system.

System that digests food and absorbs nutrients. Organs include the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, gallbladder, and anus. Also called the gastrointestinal system.

The system by which ingested food is acted upon by physical and chemical means to provide the body with absorbable nutrients and to excrete waste products. The system includes the alimentary canal, extending from the mouth to the anus, and the hormones and enzymes assisting in digestion.

Body system that digests food. Includes the mouth, stomach, large and small intestines, and rectum (back passage).

A group of organs including the mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, small and large bowel as well as the anus. This allows for the breakdown of food, digestion of food and elimination of waste.

Group of organs involved in the ingestion and processing of food.

Organs breaking down the food and converting them into body nutrients.

A group of organs - including the mouth, throat, oesophagus (gullet), stomach, intestines- that break down food into a suitable form for absorption by the body.

The parts of the body used to break up food into forms that can be absorbed into the bloodstream and utilized by the body. Unusable products are expelled from the body. Some components of the digestive system are the stomach, liver, intestines, pancreas, and colon.

system of organs are involved with the ingestion, digestion, absorption of food Humans as organisms

The body system that breaks down food into nutrients that the body can use.

A series of connected organs whose purpose is to break down, or digest, the food we eat. Food is made up of large, complex molecules, which the digestive system breaks down into smaller, simple molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. The simple molecules travel through the bloodstream to all of the body's cells, which use them for growth, repair and energy.

the group of organs that breaks down foods into chemical components that the body can absorb and use for energy, and for building and repairing cells and tissues.
