The digestive system is a big part of your body it helps you break down food that you eat. Once you are done digesting it, the nutrients from that food goes through your body to give you energy. The healthier food you eat the more energy you can get. Some important organs in your digestive system are the Esophagus, Liver, Gallbladder, Colon, Appendix, Small Intestine, Stomach, Pancreas, and Rectum.

Here is a picture of the digestive system.

The Stomach holds the food you eat and helps digest it.

The Small Intestine is where most of the digestion takes place.

The Liver breaks down medicines, and it helps eliminate nitrogen from the body. The liver also make bile. Bile is a substance that breaks up fat particles.

The Pancreas produces enzymes that flow into the small intestine and help break down starches, proteins, and fats.

The Gallbladder removes all forms of waste including dead blood cells and toxins.
