allows your body to get the nutrients and energy it needs from the food you eat.

the process of breaking down food by mechanical and enzymatic action in the stomach and intestines into substances that can be used by the body.

the membrane, lined cavity behind the nose and mouth, connecting them to the esophagus.

a flap of cartilage at the root of the tongue, which is depressed during swallowing to cover the opening of the windpipe.

the part of the alimentary canal that connects the throat to the stomach; the gullet. In humans and other vertebrates it is a muscular tube lined with mucous membrane.

the involuntary constriction and relaxation of the muscles of the intestine or another canal, creating wavelike movements that push the contents of the canal forward.

a ring of muscle surrounding and serving to guard or close an opening or tube, such as the anus or the openings of the stomach.

the internal organ in which the first part of digestion occurs

the pulpy acidic fluid that passes from the stomach to the small intestine, consisting of gastric juices and partly digested food.

the first part of the small intestine immediately beyond the stomach, leading to the jejunum.

the part of the intestine that runs between the stomach and the large intestine; the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum collectively.

a large gland behind the stomach that secretes digestive enzymes
