The digestive system breaks down food and absorbs nutrients. It consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. The mouth chews food, the esophagus transports it to the stomach where acids begin breaking it down, and the small intestine further breaks it down and absorbs nutrients before waste is passed through the large intestine and eliminated from the body.
