The Digestive System
What does it do?The Digestive system digests food to use as energy for your body. There are seven main organs that make up the digestive system. They are: - The Oral Cavity or (Mouth)- The Esophagus- The Stomach- The Small Intestine- The Large Intestine or (Colon)- The Rectum- The Anus
Let's take a look at each main organ in order to see how they work!

OrgansThe Oral Cavity or (mouth)
Is the first portion of the digestive system that receives food and begins digestion by mechanically breaking up the solid food particles into smaller pieces (chewing) and mixing them with saliva. Saliva is secreted from the mouth to help break down the food.

OrgansStomach
Is a elastic-like bag that holds your food after you eat. The stomach receives food from the esophagus. It stores and digests food by breaking the food into smaller pieces so that your body can use the vitamins and minerals from the food for its energy and nutrition.
