The digestive system breaks down food into simple nutrients the body can absorb and convert into energy. It consists of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, and rectum. Accessory organs like the salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas secrete digestive catalysts into the GI tract through connecting ducts to aid in the digestion, secretion, absorption, and excretion processes.

The digestive system, also known as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract or the alimentary system, is responsible for breaking down complex food into simple nutrients the body can absorb and convert into energy. The GI system consists of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, and rectum. The accessory organs (salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas) secrete digestive catalysts (a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction) into the GI tract through connecting ducts.
