  The digestive system is in charge of food digesting, nutritional absorption, and waste removal. The digestive system includes the following organs:
  
  – The small intestine breaks down food, absorbs nutrients the body needs, and eliminates waste.
  
  – The appendix produces and stores beneficial microbes for the human gastrointestinal tract.
  
  – The stomach stores food and releases it at a rate that allows the intestines to handle it properly. It mixes and grounds the foods into chyme, which increases the food’s area in preparing for digestion.
