The Large intestine is the last section of the Gastrointestinal tract (GI tract). It is also known as the “Large Bowel” as it functions to absorb water and transforms waste into a stool. This part of the digestive system surrounds the small intestine in a question mark-like shape. It moves more water from the GI tract toward the bloodstream. Also, the bacteria in the Large intestine help in the breaking down of excess nutrients, thus making Vitamin K.
For more information, you can read more about the Large intestine in the following sources:

The Esophagus is a hollowed, muscular thin-walled tube that functions to carry food from the mouth down to the stomach. It connects our throat/pharynx and stomach. The muscles in our Esophagus propel the food down to our stomach.
Part of the Esophagus called the esophageal sphincters are ring-shaped muscles that open and close located at either end of the Esophagus. This prevents the food from entering back the Esophagus or the Throat from the stomach.

The Gall Bladder is another part of the digestive system located under the liver. It is like a small pouch that serves as storage for Bile produced by the liver. The Bile inside helps break down fats as it is the difficult part of the food to digest in the digestive system. Moreover, the stored Bile in the Gall bladder is squeezed into the small intestine through tubes known as Ducts.
