The digestive system is a complex series of organs responsible for the breakdown of food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body. Here's an overview of the anatomy of the human digestive system: • Mouth: The process of digestion begins in the mouth, where food is chewed and mixed with saliva, which contains enzymes that start breaking down carbohydrates. • Esophagus: A muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. It uses rhythmic contractions called peristalsis to push food down into the stomach. • Stomach: A muscular organ that receives food from the esophagus. It secretes gastric juices containing hydrochloric acid and enzymes to further break down food into a semi-liquid substance called chyme. • Small Intestine: Divided into three parts: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. Most of the digestion and absorption of nutrients occurs in the small intestine. Enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver aid in the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. • Liver: Produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats. • Gallbladder: Stores and concentrates bile produced by the liver until it is needed in the small intestine to aid in fat digestion. • Pancreas: Produces digestive enzymes and bicarbonate, which are released into the small intestine to further break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, and to neutralize stomach acid. • Large Intestine (Colon): Absorbs water and electrolytes from undigested food, forming feces. It also contains bacteria that help in the fermentation of undigested carbohydrates and the production. • #digestion #digestivesystem #shorts #medical #animation #3danimation
