Digestive system
The digestive system is a remarkable and intricate network of organs that processes food, extracts nutrients, and eliminates waste. Beginning with the intake of food through the mouth and concluding with the expulsion of indigestible residues, this system includes organs such as the stomach, liver, pancreas, and intestines. Digestion involves mechanical and chemical processes that break down complex food molecules into simpler forms, allowing for the absorption of nutrients. Nutrients are then transported through the bloodstream to provide energy and support various bodily functions. Beyond nutrient absorption, the digestive system plays a crucial role in maintaining water balance and immune function. In essence, it acts as the body's processing center for transforming ingested food into the essential elements needed for growth, energy, and overall health.
