The digestive system is made up of organs that are important for digesting food and liquids. The histology of some parts of the digestive system is found in the poster below. These are their definitions:Ileum- the Ileum is the small intestine’s last section. It attaches to the cecum (the first part of the large intestine). The ileum aids in the digestion of food that has passed through the stomach and other portions of the small intestine.
Gallbladder- the gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ located beneath your liver on the right side of your abdomen. Bile is a digestive fluid that is stored in the gallbladder and discharged into the small intestine.
Rectum- the rectum is the section of the large intestine that links to the sigmoid colon at its lower end. It measures approximately 15 cm (6 in) in length. It collects waste from the colon and stores it until it is expelled through the anus.
