Digestive System: Name: - Date

1. The digestive system is a group of organs that work together to convert food into energy and nutrients to feed the body. It includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and rectum. 2. Food enters the mouth where it is chewed and mixed with saliva before being swallowed into the stomach. The stomach mixes food with acid and enzymes and empties into the small intestine where most digestion and absorption occurs. Nutrients then pass into the bloodstream and waste moves into the large intestine for storage until leaving the body through the rectum.
