1. Mouth cavity: The mouth cavity is responsible for ingestion of food, chewing, and initiating the process of digestion through the secretion of saliva containing enzymes.
2. Oesophagus: The oesophagus is a muscular tube that transports food from the mouth to the stomach through a series of contractions known as peristalsis.
3. Stomach: The stomach is responsible for further digestion of food through the secretion of gastric juices containing enzymes and acids. It also acts as a temporary storage site for food before it is passed on to the small intestine.
4. Jejunum: The jejunum is the middle part of the small intestine where most of the absorption of nutrients from food takes place.
5. Large intestine: The large intestine is responsible for absorbing water and electrolytes from the remaining indigestible food matter, forming feces, and eliminating waste from the body.
6. Anus: The anus is the opening at the end of the digestive tract through which feces are expelled from the body.
7. Rectum: The rectum is the final section of the large intestine where feces are stored before being expelled through the anus.
8. Gall bladder: The gall bladder stores and concentrates bile produced by the liver, releasing it into the small intestine to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats.
9. Liver: The liver plays a crucial role in digestion by producing bile, storing glycogen, detoxifying harmful substances, and metabolizing nutrients absorbed from the small intestine.

1. Mouth cavity:
- Receives food and initiates digestion through mechanical and chemical breakdown (chewing and saliva).
- Taste perception.
- Speech production.
2. Esophagus:
- Transports food from the mouth to the stomach through peristaltic contractions.
3. Stomach:
- Acidic environment (pH 1-2) kills microorganisms and activates enzymes.
- Secretes pepsin to break down proteins.
- Churns and mixes food to form a semi-liquid mass called chyme.
4. Jejunum:
- First part of the small intestine.
- Main site of nutrient absorption (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals).
- Secretes bicarbonate to neutralize acid from the stomach.
5. Large intestine:
- Absorbs water and electrolytes from indigestible material.
- Harbors trillions of bacteria that ferment undigested carbohydrates and produce vitamins.
- Forms feces.
6. Anus:
- Controlled by sphincter muscles.
- Allows for voluntary expulsion of feces.
7. Rectum:
- Stores feces until they are expelled.
8. Gallbladder:
- Stores and concentrates bile from the liver.
- Releases bile into the small intestine during digestion to emulsify fats.
9. Liver:
- Produces bile, which helps digest fats.
- Detoxifies blood by removing toxins and metabolic waste.
- Stores glycogen and releases glucose when blood sugar levels drop.
- Produces proteins, cholesterol, and other substances necessary for various body functions.
- Receives food and initiates digestion through mechanical and chemical breakdown (chewing and saliva).
- Taste perception.
- Speech production.
