How the Digestive System Works
The digestive system is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube that goes from the mouth to the anus. Inside this tube there is a lining that is called the mucosa. In the mouth, stomach, and small intestine, the mucosa contains tiny glands that produce juices to help digest food. Two solid organs, the liver and the pancreas, produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes. In addition, parts of other organ systems (for instance, nerves and blood) can play a large role in the digestive process.
