Digestive system. Computer artwork showing the position of the digestive system in the human body. At top is the oesophagus (gullet),which carries food from the mouth to the stomach (blue,upper centre). The food is stored and partially broken down in the stomach before moving on to the small intestines (purple,centre) to be digested. Food residue passes from the small intestine to the large intestine (around outside) where excess water is absorbed. Faeces are stored in the rectum (not shown) before being expelled through the anus | |
