    The mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, and anus are the organs connected to each other that made up our Digestive System. They are what we call the gastrointestinal tract or GI tract which also include the gall bladder, liver, and pancreas. They are all connected to each other from our mouth down to the anus.

    The Digestive System is one important and significant part of a person’s body. It functions uniquely by breaking down foods into nutrients and energy as well as keeping a person healthy and kicking.

    Moreover, it functions as an exit that packages waste or stool from our body when a bowel movement occurs. It serves as a disposal path to eliminate wastes and maybe also harmful substances inside the body.

    In the illustration, the Appendix, Duodenum, and Liver are shown. The pictures were drawn using the IbisPaint X application. And, it was arranged using Photogrid and PicsArt.

    • In the lower right side of your abdomen is where the Appendix is located. It is a thin tube that joins the large intestine.
      • Also, in the illustration is the Duodenum. Duodenum is part of the small intestine. The small intestine functions as the organ that breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and solidify waste. It is the longest organ of the GI tract where digestion mostly occur. And with this, Duodenum also plays a significant role in the digestion process.

        Duodenum is a short descending tube that happens to curve around the pancreas making a ‘C’ shape. Its form then connects to the other coiled intestines. Furthermore, this is the part of the small intestine which the first feeding process of the stomach takes place.

        • One of the presented illustrations is the Liver. The Liver consists of many functions. However, its primary function is to act as the “chemical factory” in our body. The raw materials being absorbed by the small intestine is taken by the liver and then do its job as the “chemical factory”. All chemicals that our body needs for us to be able to function are made up from the liver. It detoxify dangerous substances and breaks down substances that can be toxic to the body.
