* Esophagus – The esophagus begins at the throat (pharynx) and travels to the stomach, passing through the diaphragm en route. The esophagus serves to pass food and liquids from the mouth down to the stomach. This is accomplished by periodic contractions (peristalsis) instead of gravity.
* Large Intestine – The large intestine is the terminal segment of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which is a continuous, tube-like channel via which food passes along the human digestive system. It runs from the small intestine to the anal canal, wherein food waste is eliminated. In simpler terms, the large intestine is involved in feces production.
* Pancreas – The pancreas is located behind the stomach in the upper left abdomen. It makes pancreatic juices, which contain enzymes that aid in digestion, and it produces several hormones, including insulin.
* Liver– The liver is located on the right side of your body in the upper right abdomen below your ribcage. The liver is one of the largest internal organs in your body and its main function is to filter blood and remove toxins. Your liver also plays an important role in your digestive system.
* Stomach – The stomach is the most dilated part of the digestive system, lying between the esophagus and duodenum. The main function of the stomach involves mechanical and chemical digestion of ingested food.
* Gallbladder – The gallbladder is an organ that’s found in your abdomen. Its function is to store bile until it’s needed for digestion. When we eat, the gallbladder contracts, or squeezes, to send bile into your digestive tract.
