The pancreas is a lengthened, tapered organ located across the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach. The enzymes secreted by the exocrine gland in the pancreas help break down carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and acids in the duodenum. Lipases perform essential roles in the digestion, transport and processing of dietary lipids (e.g. triglycerides, fats, oils) in most, if not all, living organisms. The pancreas and salivary gland make amylase to hydrolyze dietary starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides which are converted by other enzymes to glucose to supply the body with energy. Bicarbonate ion also acts to regulate pH in the small intestine. It is released from the pancreas in response to the hormone secretin to neutralize the acidic chyme entering the duodenum from the stomach.

An organ of digestion and division of the alimentary canal that is positioned in the upper middle/left abdomen. In the stomach, the stomach acid is there to digest protein. Your stomach, as is mucus, is made of protein. The stomach automatically and chemically digests food into a soupy mix called chyme that is sent to the small intestine. The HCI helps to chemically break down the food in the stomach. Pepsin is an enzyme whose pepsinogen is unrestricted by the head cells in the stomach and that degrades food proteins into peptides. Gastrin is a hormone produced by the stomach, which stimulates the release of gastric acid, it is released by G cells in the stomach as well as the duodenum and the pancreas.

The anus is the last part of the digestive tract. It is a 2-inch long canal consisting of the pelvic floor muscles and the two anal sphincters, both internal and external. The lining of the upper anus is dedicated to sense rectal contents. It lets you identify whether the contents are liquid, gas, or solid.

The rectum is an 8-inch chamber that joins the colon to the anus. It is the rectum's job to obtain stool from the colon, to let the person know that there is stool to be vacate, along with holding the stool until evacuation happens.

A colon is shaped like an inverted U. The colon is responsible for the final stages of the digestive process, the colon’s function is to absorb the remaining water and electrolytes from indigestible food matter; to accept and stores food remains that were not digested in the small intestine; as well as to remove solid waste from the body.

The large intestine is a long, thick tube about 2 ½ inches in diameter and about 5 feet long. The large intestine absorbs water and includes various symbiotic bacteria that help in the breaking down of wastes to take out a few small amounts of nutrients.

The terminal section of the small intestine is called the ileum. The ileum follows the jejunum, and it provides additional area for the absorption of nutrients. The ileum also provides a place for the absorption of vitamin B12 and bile salts.

The middle section of the small intestine is called the jejunum. The jejunum is an important place for nutrient absorption. Since the nutrients have been broken down into their smallest units, they can be immersed through the wall of the jejunum and fall into the blood stream to be carried to the cells of your body.

The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine immediately beyond the stomach. The duodenum obtains lots of of the digestive juices that are required to break down foods into nutrients that are small enough to be engrossed by your body.

The small intestine is a long, thin tube about 1 inch in diameter and about 10 feet long that is part of the lower gastrointestinal tract The folds in the small intestine are used to maximize the digestion of food and absorption of nutrients. Enterokinase is an enzyme produced by the mucosa of the small intestine. Its sole function is to activate trypsinogen to trypsin. Erepsin is a protein found in intestinal juices but can also be found in many other cells.

The gallbladder is a miniature, pear-shaped organ positioned just latter to the liver. The gallbladder is applied to store and recycle surplus bile from the small intestine so that it can be reused for the digestion of following meals. Fatty acids of the duodenum cause endocrine cells to release the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK). CCK stimulates contractions in the smooth muscle of the gallbladder.

The liver is a generally triangular accessory organ of the digestive system placed to the right of the stomach. The liver has various different functions in the body; however the core function of the liver in digestion is the production of bile and its emission into the small intestine. Secretin is a hormone released into the bloodstream by the duodenum to stimulate secretion by the liver and pancreas.

The esophagus is a muscular tube involving the pharynx to the stomach that is part of the upper gastrointestinal tract. It transmits swallowed amples of chewed food down its length.

# data[].attributes.body
The pharynx, or throat, is a funnel-shaped tube associated to the later end of the mouth. The pharynx is in charge for the passing of masses of chewed food from the mouth to the esophagus.

Nearby the mouth are 3 sets of salivary glands. Saliva assists to wet food and startthe digestion of carbohydrates. The body as well uses saliva to lubricate food as it passes in the course of the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus.

The teeth are 32 small, hard organs found alongside the frontal and side edges of the mouth. The teeth are aimed for cutting and grinding food into smaller pieces.

Food begins its trip through the digestive system in the mouth, aka the oral cavity. Inside the mouth are many partner organs that help in the digestion of food. These partners are the teeth and the salivary glands.
