4. Organs:
• Esophagus: It’s a long tube that begins in your throat.
• Stomach: It’s a muscular bag that mashes food and mixes the
food with digestive juices.
• Small intestine: It’s a long coiled tube that digests food and
absorbs nutrients your body needs from the digested food.
• Large intestine: It’s a large tube that soaks up water and
minerals and leaves only the waste.

5. • Pancreas: Makes juices that are released into the small
intestine.
• Liver: makes a juice called bile that helps break large blobs of
fat into tiny droplets so that the fats can be broken down
more easily.
