Digestive system. Computer artwork of a naked man with a healthy digestive system. Food is ingested through the mouth and passes down the oesophagus (long thin tube) to the stomach. The food is stored and partially broken down in the stomach before moving on to the small intestine (coils,centre) to be digested. The liver,which produces digestive biochemicals,is seen at top left (pink). Food residue passes from the small intestine to the large intestine (ribbed) where excess water is reabsorbed. The faeces is then expelled through the anus | |
