Digestive System Organs - TSV
Digestive system organs are a group of organs responsible for food digestion and nutrient absorption. Composed of the digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, etc.) and digestive glands (liver, pancreas, gallbladder, etc.), these organs work together to perform digestive activities from the mouth to the anus. Each organ has unique functions that support the series of processes including food breakdown, nutrient absorption, and waste elimination.
