Answer:
> Its function includes digestion and absorption. The food that we intake is dissected into smaller molecules which are later absorbed into the body.
2.  What are the main organs for digestion? Give their primary functions
Answer: 
>Salivary glands-  A tissue in our mouth that expels saliva that  moistens the food to help in chewing and swallowing and  keeps the mouth clean.
>Pharynx- A part of both Digestive and Respiratory system.  Its muscular walls function in the procedure of swallowing and serves as the pathway from the mouth to the esophagus 
>Esophagus-  It transports food and liquid  from pharynx to the stomach and prevents the diffusion of substances from the food to the blood.
>Stomach- The stomach emits acid and enzymes that digest food. The main function of the stomach is to break down and digest food in order to extract nutrients.
>Small intestine- The nutrient absorption  occurs here. Together with the esophagus, large intestine, and the stomach, it forms the gastrointestinal tract.
>Large Intestine- Its major function is to assimilate the water from the indigestible  matter and escorts the waste material to the rectum.
>Rectum- acts as the temporary storage for feces before its is eliminated through the body from the anal canal.

3.  What are the accessory organs of the digestive system? Identify their important roles in the digestion process 
Answer:
>Liver- Before the blood is passed from the rest of the body, the liver filters the blood coming from the digestive tract.
>Gallbladder- It stores bile, produced from the liver until it is necessary for digesting fatty foods.
>Pancreas- converts the food that we eat into fuel for the cells. It has an exocrine function which helps digestion and endocrine function that regulates blood sugar.
