The digestive system breaks down food and extracts nutrients. It begins with the mouth, which breaks down food into small pieces. The liver breaks down fats and filters toxins from the blood. The stomach uses chemical and mechanical digestion to further break down food before it passes to the small intestine for absorption of nutrients and the removal of waste from the anus. Other key organs include the esophagus, pancreas, and salivary glands.
