# The Digestive System The image shows a diagram of the digestive system, with labeled parts and accompanying text describing the process of digestion. **Parts of the Digestive System:** * Mouth * Esophagus * Stomach * Small Intestine * Liver * Pancreas * Large Intestine * Rectum **Digestion Process:** Food is swallowed and travels down the esophagus to the stomach. The stomach contains enzymes that begin to break down proteins. The partially digested food moves to the small intestine, where further digestion occurs. The liver produces bile, which aids in the digestion of fats. The pancreas secretes enzymes that help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the small intestine. Undigested material moves to the large intestine, where water is absorbed. Waste products are eliminated from the body through the rectum and anus. **Additional Information:** The text also discusses the functions of the liver and pancreas in digestion. It mentions different types of foods and how these food types are broken down in the body. Information is provided in relation to related diseases.
