The Digestive System is a group of organs in change of the digestion process.
Digestive Process
Digestion. The mouth, esophagus and stomach all help our body digest the food we eat.
Absorption. The small intestine absorbs the nutrients from the food. From the small intestine, the nutrients go into your blood.
Elimination. The large intestine and rectum transform the undigested solids into faeces.
Essential Nutrients
Our bodies need carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water.
Vitamins and minerals are micro-nutrients that our bodies need but cannot make, so we have to get them from the food we eat.
